Mason Pilot Elementary School

Standout achievements include the Mason School being one of the top 50 Elementary Schools in Massachusetts during 2005 and also winning the Vanguard Award in 2003 for Mass Insight Education. Here at the Mason School, we focus on giving each student a good education. Remember, our children are the future.

Children are the heart and soul of the Mason School. We are an Effective Practice Pilot School where students are taught in fully inclusive classrooms. Teachers are dual-certified in regular and special education with extensive training in literacy, math investigations and character education. Over 50% of the Mason staff conduct trainings throughout the city and state. Through creative allocation of funding and commitment of caring partners, each classroom is staffed by two or more adults, resulting in a very low student teacher ratio. Business and community partnerships have a strong presence in the school.
Parents are partners at the Mason School. Parent leaders are active members of the school's governance board and Instructional Leadership Team. The center designed by parents is staffed by community liaisons, Home Reading Coordinator and Mason parent leaders. The Center provides workshops and training for assisting children in literacy, math and home reading strategies, bridging the gap between home and school. Additional resources available through Boston YMCA, NewMarket Business Association and John Hancock Services.

Children at the Mason School are taught to be independent.
