What is METCO?
METCO is a school integration program that enrolls Boston students in grades K-10 in participating suburban public schools to reduce racial isolation.
Join a legacy of educational equity born in the Civil Rights movement, with thousands of alumni around the world!
The METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FOR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY was created in 1966 by parents, organizing in Boston and suburban towns, to provide the opportunity for children from racially segregated schools in Boston and children from racially isolated schools in the suburbs to learn together in an integrated public school setting.
In METCO, your children will:
- Get a great education
- Make lifelong, interracial friendships
- Appreciate diversity and break down racial barriers and stereotypes
- Learn together through shared experiences
- Prepare to become global citizens
