From the Boston Pioneers Free School Academy
The Pioneer Pledges, which we pledge to both parents and students, serve as the foundation of our school. No matter what their past experiences, we think that every child can achieve their full potential with the correct atmosphere and instruction. We hold all of our students to high standards because we firmly believe that the only limitations in life are ones that you place on yourself. Our goal is to produce students who will contribute favourably to society. Pledge 4: To instil an enduring passion of learning in each of our students. We want our students to remember their education fondly and to think of learning as enjoyable. Pledge 5: To Make Certain That Every One of Our Students Is Well-Readied for the Upcoming Stage of Their Learning Journey. We want to give our students a solid foundation for whatever the future may hold. In response to local demand, a group of regional educators founded Boston Pioneers Free School in September 2013. Free Schools are a type of academy that operate independently of local government oversight and are directly funded by the federal government through a financing arrangement. Free Schools, on the other hand, are established in response to what a local community wants and needs in order to improve education for students in the community that it serves, unlike the majority of other Academies, which are schools that were once under Local Authority administration.
