Description

The Paraclete is a small afterschool program located in South Boston. We offer a diverse range of classes that seek to both align and exceed the Boston Public Schools curriculum to enrich the educations of our students. We have offered classes in Robotics, Service Learning, Acting, Art, Creative Writing, Ecology, Archeology, Forensic Science and Aviation.

Although our program is small, we believe that our size is a strength in that it allows us to give individual attention to all of our students. We expect much of our students and teachers, and in return, demand much of ourselves. Our two overaching goals are create life-long learners and critical thinkers and to enroll our students in the top high schools in the city.
