The Morse School is a National ESEA 2023 Distinguished School and strives to provide all children with a sense of belonging and access to the academic, social, and emotional resources they need to attain their full potential and to become successful, independent, and culturally- proficient members of our community and world.
The school serves families from every Cambridge neighborhood and from over 30 different countries. Its proximity to the Charles River, to local universities, and to Boston’s cultural and historical landmarks allows teachers to enhance learning through community partnerships and field trips. The school’s beautiful garden and playground areas provide engaging spaces for outdoor learning and play.
Morse School staff nurture children’s intellectual curiosity, academic skills, and artistic expression, as well as their healthy social and emotional growth. They approach positive behavior and engagement as skills that can be taught and work as a community to help students develop an understanding of self and others, a sense of civic responsibility and an appreciation for people with diverse origins, identities, beliefs, and learning styles. The school’s core values are: Be Inclusive, Be Kind, Be Responsible and Be an Active Learner.
The Morse School community is committed to understanding and addressing racism and racial bias, hearing and elevating underrepresented voices, and striving to achieve an equitable and just educational experience for all students.
