Welcome to Match Charter Public School!

Match serves grades pre-kindergarten (K1) through 12 and accepts lottery applications through grade 10. We select students through an electronic random public lottery. Students who are not accepted in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list.

We encourage all families in the city of Boston to learn more about Match and submit an application for our lottery.
