Students & Families
METCO offers a wide range of programs throughout the year for students and families, from after-school enrichments, SAT prep classes, and college and career exploration opportunities, to community building for our students and connecting Boston and suburban families together through cultural programming. We also lead tours of our Exhibit Hall exploring METCO’s history and tours of Nubian Square, the heart of Black Boston.
Getting into Metco was the first time I felt challenged academically. I think that was important for me, because I really liked school and wanted to do well, and I think I knew almost immediately that METCO was a way for me to do that.

Through METCO, I had so many opportunities I’d never been afforded before. I was able to participate in a job program that allowed me to teach. I later became a principal and curriculum director. As a high school graduation speaker one of my topics was about the METCO program and how it was well worth it.

I had a great host family. We have a lot of good memories. Their son and I were almost the exact same age, we were born a day apart. We shared the same views as kids and we share the same views now.
