Welcome to the Braintree Public Schools,

We are proud of our district's long history of high academic performance and a strong sense of community that welcomes and engages our students on a daily basis. We have built a team of outstanding professionals who work together every day to bring out the best in each individual student. Our mission is devoted to preparing all students to become responsible and contributing members of a diverse and global society, and we will actively partner with our families and caregivers to support our students through their educational and personal journey.

Our work is centered on three focus areas:

Teaching and Learning

Our students have the opportunity to participate in a challenging curriculum, utilize appropriate support systems, enjoy a generous offering of extra-curricular activities and a vibrant athletic program, and attend frequent celebrations of who we are and what we have accomplished.
