Formerly known as Boston Technical High School, we are the only exam school that mirrors the overall student population of the BPS. Although our focus is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, we offer a broad array of humanities courses.

Students can enroll in specialized academic programs including our Engineering pathway that partners our students with M.I.T and Wentworth Institute of Technology or our Gateway to the LMA program, a special partnership with the institutions of the Longwood medical and academic area. We have an on-campus music program, an award winning NJROTC, a state of the art Teleconferencing Center, and a robotics program with a modern laboratory.
