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.
We realize that our METCO community is made up of individuals who have businesses in a multitude of fields. We are creating a Directory to house this information so that we may tap you when we are looking for consultants and vendors to fulfill our needs. Take a few moments to complete this survey so that we can learn more about your business.
In partnership with Boston Public Schools (BPS), all students in Middle School and High School students (grades 6th-12th) who reside in the City of Boston and attend school at a METCO district can receive a M7 Student Pass through the METCO Headquarters Office located at 11 Roxbury Street Roxbury, MA 02119
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.
