UP Academy Charter School of Boston 215 Dorchester Street, South Boston, MA 02127 Amanda Gardner, Principal Phone: 617-635-8819 Fax: 617-635-8820 Website: www.upacademyboston.org School Hours: Mon-Thu 7:20-3:20, Fri 7:20-1:30 Please check the box that applies: ___ K-8 ___ K-12 X Middle School ___ MS-HS ___ Other UP Academy is a high-performing public, tuition-free, college preparatory middle school (grades 6-8). Our school aims to ensure all students acquire the knowledge, skills, and strength of character necessary to succeed on the path to college and to achieve their full potential. Our school program is modeled on the highest-performing urban public schools in the United States. Our team believes that any student can rapidly approach grade-level proficiency given the right support system. At UP Academy, we offer: - Relentlessly high, consistent academic and behavioral expectations. UP Academy scholars know exactly what is expected of them in and out of the classroom. These school-wide systems have helped us create a supportive and safe environment where staff can work relentlessly to help our students reach their full potential. - Open lines of communication between school and family. Families can expect a weekly call from their child’s advisor to discuss student performance and progress. All students bring home a weekly report detailing grades, homework completion, and behaviors. - Rigorous, standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessments. Our educational program is designed to help students master core basic content and skills that will prepare them for success at a college preparatory high school program. - A wide-reaching network of supports for all students, including Special Education students and English Language Learners. Our school employs an extensive network of whole-school and individualized supports to catch struggling students before they fall behind. When a student is not finding success at our school, we will seek to identify the underlying skill deficiency and then provide systematic supports to address the issue. - An obsession with regularly and effectively using data. We regularly analyze academic assessment data to understand which concepts students have and have not mastered, using this analysis to build tutoring plans and to make adjustments to our program. Data detailing student performance on nonacademic goals also drives individual and school-wide improvements. - An atmosphere of enthusiasm and joy. Our program is designed to ensure that teaching and learning become exciting and fun. Other school features include the following: Required school uniforms Transportation guaranteed to all students who live more than 1.5 miles away from the student. Weekly art, music, and fitness classes Enrichment program (e.g., athletics, drama) on Fridays for all students Afterschool homework club for some students Saturday Math Club option for some students Football & basketball teams ISEE and SSAT prep for 8th grade students Full-time High School Placement Manager As required by state law, our enrollment will be determined by public lottery. No test scores, grades, recommendations, or academic history will be taken into consideration for admittance. 86
