About Us

---

 The Lee Academy Pilot School is a fully inclusive, autonomous school, built on partnerships with families, educators, and community members.  By meeting children’s social-emotional needs and by guiding them to strive for academic excellence, we are a community which is inclusive, diverse, and equitable valuing all kinds of learners and backgrounds. We celebrate the joy of learning by fostering creativity and curiosity while nurturing the individual genius in every child. 

Families -
You may have heard that the Boston Public School district is working towards having more fully inclusive schools.  This means that all students, regardless of ability status, will be included in the same classroom setting.  The graphic below shows the timeline BPS hopes to transition all classrooms to being fully inclusive:



The Lee Academy has elected an Inclusion Planning Team (IPT) to support us in making this transition.  The IPT has drafted the following vision for inclusive education at the Lee Academy:

At the Lee Academy Pilot School, we know that inclusive school practices benefit all students. We strive to implement evidence-based practices that center the strengths of our diverse community—particularly multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and their families.

Our vision relies upon continuous evaluation of and adjustment to our inclusion practices and school-based systems (including our staffing model, assessments, building space, budgeting, and provider resources) to meet the needs of students. School-based decision making, driven by relevant and reliable data, will nurture the individual genius in every child.  This will result in access to authentic tasks, high levels of measurable student growth, and social and emotional learning for all.
The Inclusion Planning Team welcomes any feedback you may have around our vision, and we are also looking to include more family voices as we continue our planning.  If you have any interest in taking on a role in connection to Lee Academy's Inclusion Planning Team please email Kathryn Wilcox, kwilcox@bostonpublicschools.org...we would be so happy to have you!
