New Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School

The Boston Teacher Residency program and DSNI are working to open a new Boston Public Schools (BPS) elementary school on Dudley Street this fall. Pending approval by the state and city, the Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School will move into the former Emerson School building and will be a centerpiece of the Dudley Village Campus. Because DSNCS will be a BPS “in-district charter school,” its principal will have broad power to implement a re-imagined school structure including an extended day and new ways of grouping students. Following the teaching hospital model, teacher residents will be mentored as educators while they help support students’ learning.  Since July, more than 100 residents have attended four Community Meetings at DSNI to give their input. Stay tuned for additional opportunities to participate in the planning.  For more information visit the school's website: www.dudleystreetschool.org
