Academic/School Programs

The CommPACT school model is largely based on the successful model used by the city of Boston called Pilot Schools. The school design requires a partnership between school leaders, teachers, parents, students and community leaders to guide and develop the school design. The school will be selecting a new literacy program this year, and further developing a middle school curriculum as the school develops into a PK-8 school.
