Match Charter Public School
Match Charter Public School (MCPS) serves 1250 students in grades preK-12 on three campuses in Boston. Match students are predominantly African-American and Hispanic, and they are as likely as the general Boston Public Schools population to be English Language Learners (ELL), special education students, and from low-income households. Students gain acceptance to our schools via a blind public lottery open to all Boston residents. MCPS stresses uncompromising expectations, genuine care, and enormous effort—for and by both faculty and students. We consistently engage families in all aspects of our students’ learning and development. We strive to create a community where all families feel welcome, involved, and challenged.
The Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education
In 2012, Match Education launched The Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education (CSGSE) to develop new insights into the nature of effective entry-level teaching and teacher preparation. CSGSE is approved by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education to grant a Master’s in Effective Teaching (MET) degree. The mission of CSGSE is to prepare unusually effective novice teachers for schools serving low-income populations, and to develop, validate, and disseminate innovative approaches to teacher preparation. CSGSE awards Master’s degrees on the basis of proven classroom effectiveness, and unlike most traditional teacher preparation programs, our program is mapped backwards from the practical, real-world demands of working in urban public schools in America.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The mission of Match Charter Public School is to prepare students for success in college and beyond. The mission of The Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education is to prepare unusually effective first-year teachers to succeed in urban, high-poverty schools in Boston and around the country. And the mission of Match Export is to transfer the knowledge we generate in our charter school and graduate school—mainly through free websites—directly to teachers, school leaders, districts, graduate schools of education, and other stakeholders. Ultimately, through our work we aim to be a platform of design and innovation for the K-12 education space.
