It's a great school. The diversity has definitely jumped from the typical rich kid to people from everywhere in Boston and hundreds of different backgrounds.

I have had a great experience at BC High for the past 5 years of my life, going on 6. I have found so many deep connections at BC High with teachers and peers, and I have also found passions that will be with me for the rest of my life. BC High has nurtured me in my skills and interests, and I know I will be a more competent, confident, and compassionate man because of the time I have spent there.

I have had two boys attend BC High. They couldn't be more different personality wise or interest wise. But both not only liked BCH, they were supremely proud to have attended. These days it’s difficult to find passion in our youth, so it’s refreshing to see the abundance of passion within BC High’s...
