Boston Students Invited to Apply for the City’s Exam Schools and Advanced Work Class Program
Boston Public Schools (BPS) will offer the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) for entrance to the city's three examination schools on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. at six locations across the city. The registration deadline is Sept. 30, 2015.
Students must currently be in grades 6, 8 and 9 to take the ISEE. Interested candidates may obtain application materials from the Principal/Headmaster of his or her present school. Applications will also be available at the BPS Welcome Centers and all branches of the Boston Public Library starting the third week in September.
The three exam schools are the Boston Latin Academy, Boston Latin School, and John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science. New students are admitted to grades 7 and 9 at all three exam schools. John D. O'Bryant is the only exam school that accepts new students for grade 10.
As of June 2010, the Boston School Committee voted to approve the Superintendent's recommended change in the residency date for application to exam schools. This residency policy requires both the applicant and the parent or legal guardian to reside in the City of Boston and complete the verification process no later than Friday, November 6, 2015.
Additionally BPS will offer the TerraNova test to students currently enrolled in grades 3, 4, and 5 at private, parochial and charter schools for possible entrance into the Advanced Work Class (AWC) Program beginning in September 2016. AWC is a full-day program located in select Boston Public Schools across the city. The AWC program includes the same subjects as the regular education program. However, each subject is studied in more depth at an accelerated pace and requires the completion of more classroom work and homework by the student.
Registration materials for the TerraNova test will be mailed to all non-public schools in Boston, and available for pick up at BPS Welcome Centers as well as branches of the Boston Public Library. The deadline for registration is Sept. 18, 2015.
The TerraNova will be administered free of charge to Boston residents currently attending private, parochial or charter schools at the Washington Irving Middle School, 105 Cummins Highway in Roslindale on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015. Students who attend Boston Public Schools must take the test in their assigned school.
