Boston Charter Public Schools

One day, reading with my daughters, I realized they weren’t reading at all – but just reading my lips and pronouncing the words.  I am one of the fortunate people whose daughters were selected to attend a charter school, where they have improved.  It seems that they not only understand what my children need but what I need to support them.  The schoolwork is very challenging.  In December of 2005 we were blessed to receive a lottery home.  As a new homeowner and single dad these programs are a great help for me.

My son was diagnosed as having a language dyslexia in the 3rd grade.  He was tested as being marginally mentally retarded. In 9th grade he started attending a charter school.  They treated our son like he would achieve, attend college, and be an asset to his community.  They have provided tutoring and one on one attention for him in academic areas where he is weakest and they have applauded his achievement in areas where he shines.

My son received admission via the lottery to a charter school for sixth grade.  The first year was challenging!  But teachers had him stay after school any time he needed help.  He was able to call them any time at night or weekend.  They would often call me to let me know about John’s progress in school.  This outreach was very new to me, but gave me a lot of relief. My son went on to get strong financial support to attend St. John’s Preparatory High School.  He is shining there.
