School Notes

Fontbonne is a Catholic, college preparatory high school and early college for remarkable young women in grades 7-12 that embraces diversity in many forms, while fostering Gospel values and educational excellence.
Today, Fontbonne educates over 300 girls from more than 40 cities and towns across Greater Boston and the South Shore.
Our inclusive community is our strength and the reason our students and alumnae are confident, courageous women. Fontbonne's scholar-centered education and diverse student population prepare girls for the collegiate experience and cultivate an environment to grow in self-confidence, develop problem solving skills, and forge a unique academic path, while forming lifelong relationships with peers, mentors, and educators. Our students take advantage of comprehensive offerings within our programs through athletics, internships, dual enrollment, and co-curricular activities.
Our rich history and commitment to the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph is evident in all programs at Fontbonne, as we strive to provide an excellent education that is accessible to all young women.
We are thrilled to welcome new families into our community and our hallways.

Through Fontbonne's holistic approach to educating the whole person, our Early College (EC) program begins with 7th grade where our students are given essential skills, setting them up for success in high school. Our curriculum in 9th and 10th grades focuses on enhancing this foundation with exposure to seminar style discussions, independent learning,and other methods necessary for success in our accelerated academic program. In 11th and 12th grade, students may take advantage of our dual enrollment relationships and college-levelcourses thanks to our established partnerships with local institutions like Regis College, Stonehill College, and UMASS Boston. Our EC emphasis enables each Fontbonne student theability to attain transferable college credit while cultivating those distinct characteristics,attributes, and skills she would not have acquired until her first years in college. But Early College means so much more than just acquiring college credits. Our EC is built upon a student-centered pedagogy, with experiential learning, interdisciplinary courses, and acurriculum taught through a lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Exposed to concepts like restorative justice and self advocacy, our students are able to lead genuine conversations aboutreal world issues through our frequent Community Circles. Like so many opportunities at Fontbonne, these efforts are student-driven and student-led. With EC, our highly-educated faculty empower young women to be architects of their ownlearning. Within and beyond the classroom, students can engage in ways that encompass allaspects of the EC experience. We are especially proud of our World Language programs. Through this initiative, our Spanish students can participate in a week-long service program in Puerto Rico. Our French students can travel to Annecy, France and explore the beautiful region. In both programs, students live with students at the host school, immersing themselves in the language and culture. Our French students host their French sisters as part of the exchange. These are just a few of the distinct ways that Fontbonne is the only Early College of Boston.
