Lee Academy Pilot School

The Lee Academy Pilot School opened in September 2004 in the Codman Square/Franklin Field neighborhood of Dorchester. The Lee Academy is a new kind of public school, offering a continuous program between preschool and elementary school that will serve children ages 3-11. The centerpiece of the Lee Academy’s curriculum is an intensive focus on literacy and language development designed to ensure that all children become strong readers and writers. With the understanding that relationships are fundamental to quality, the Lee Academy has been designed to: • Forge collaborative relationships between preschool and primary school teachers • Partner with families to promote children’s learning • Support the social and emotional development of children
