Mission: 

Our goal is to provide a safe atmosphere for students in grades six through eight who have struggled in larger, more traditional schools. The Little House Alternative School accepts students between the ages of 11 and 14 who are at risk of academic failure and truant and referred by the Boston Public Schools, the Department of Social Services and the Boston Juvenile Courts. Classroom instruction is highly individualized and dedicated to providing students with an interdisciplinary, thematic curriculum. The school also provides substance-abuse education and treatment, individual counseling, and therapeutic group activities. At completion of the program, students are mainstreamed back through the Boston Schools or other educational institutions. Students entering high school are given additional support and guidance in their selection.
