Student Programming

To supplement the programming that partner districts provide in a venue closer to home, METCO Headquarters offers a range of support throughout the calendar year. The Student Support Services Department at METCO Headquarters works to connect current METCO students and families to resources for academic success, career exploration, college-readiness, youth leadership, and socio-emotional wellness.

METCO Summer School

The METCO Summer School Program offers academic-based learning experiences integrating math, science, reading, writing, research, social studies and oral presentations. Certified teachers tailor lessons to student needs based on referrals from school-year teachers.

Preparing Leaders and Achievers Network (P.L.A.N.)

P.L.A.N. is a paid opportunity for high schoolers through the City of Boston’s FutureBos jobs program. Participants will be paid for up to 25 hours per week.

More than “job readiness,” PLAN participants will learn about basic life skills, financial literacy, civic engagement, social capital as well as job readiness skills–and explore college and career possibilities.
