Mission Statement
Founded in 1990 by the Jesuits, Nativity Preparatory School is an accredited, private, independent, tuition-free middle school in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston.
Through a highly structured, challenging, individualized education that promotes the intellectual, ethical, physical and social development of each student, Nativity Prep prepares economically disadvantaged middle school boys from Boston's inner city neighborhoods for admission to selective high schools and colleges.
In the Jesuit tradition, Nativity Prep transforms boys from Boston into men for others.
Description
Nativity Preparatory School is an accredited, Jesuit middle school dedicated to providing a quality, tuition-free education, to boys of all faiths from low-income families residing in Boston's inner city neighborhoods. Staffed by lay volunteers and Jesuits who work closely with student's families, the school provides an academically challenging and highly structured environment for boys who have demonstrated the potential and the desire to handle a demanding academic program designed to prepare them for success in high school and in college. We work to inspire in students a love of learning, an awareness of their own interests and ideas, a fundamental understanding of culture, and an abiding sense of responsibility to their community.
