The Boston
University / Chelsea Partnership is charged with the reform and
revitalization of the public schools in Chelsea, Massachusetts. The
Partnership was established in 1989, when, with the approval of the
governor and state legislature, the Chelsea School Committee gave
Boston University a contract to manage the Chelsea Public Schools.
Three basic principles guide the Partnership’s efforts:
children should be ready to learn,
teachers should be prepared and equipped to teach, and
important subject matter must be taught and learned through
a coherent plan of instruction.
The Boston University/Chelsea Partnership remains a unique and exemplary
instance of a public school district managed by a private university.
