Pilot Schools

The Boston Public Schools' pilot schools are the result of a unique partnership launched in 1994 among Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the Boston School Committee, Superintendent, and the Boston Teachers Union (BTU). The pilot schools were explicitly created to be models of educational innovation and to serve as research and development sites for effective urban public schools.

Pilot schools are part of the school district but have autonomy over budget, staffing, governance, curriculum/assessment, and the school calendar to provide increased flexibility to organize schools and staffing to meet the needs of students and families.

The Center for Collaborative Education, a non-profit education organization, provides the pilot schools with coordination support and assistance, including coaching services, professional development, advocacy, and research and evaluation.

Boston is now home to 21 pilot schools as well as In-District Charter and Innovation Schools. Together, these schools serve more than 10,000 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
