Admissions basics
What you need to know.
Who should apply
Match strives to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment in which all students can thrive and succeed in our school. We accept lottery applications for grades pre-kindergarten (K1) through 10th. A child must reside in Massachusetts in order to enter the lottery. Children who reside in Boston receive preference in the enrollment lottery, as do siblings of current students.
Lottery
Students who are not accepted in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list and contacted immediately as seats become available. Families can monitor their changing waitlist number in their SchoolMint account. Lottery waitlists do not carry over to the following school year; families must reapply each year.
