We believe
- There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all education.
- School should not ignore the realities in students’ lives that may hold them back from academic progress.
- All students can succeed with the right resources and support, even those who have struggled in the past.
- Diversity and inclusion are the power that drives innovation and are critical elements of our community.
- Learning does not start and stop when bells ring.
- All students can achieve at high levels and should be held to high standards.
- School is about learning, exploring, and achieving, not ranking, complying, and competing.

Map students went to see @commshakes’s performance of Romeo and Juliet at the Strand Theatre in Boston! 🎭 They also stayed after the show for a “talk back” with the company, and got to ask some questions about fight choreography and set pieces. #doinghsdifferently
In their Civics class, Map students opted to focus on issues around immigration, and their final project was a showcase event to raise awareness about @luce_hotline—encouraging donations and spreading the word about the organization`s important work! #doingHSdifferently
🎨 We’re so proud to share that two Map students have won the prestigious Silver Key from the Scholastic Art Awards, the nation’s longest-running recognition program for creative teens. Lilly Markola won for her project “Happy Harry (The Puppet Pup),” and Vic Young won for his project “Footing (Sasquatch Style).” Congratulations, Lilly and Vic! @artandwriting #doingHSdifferently
Earlier this month, Map students participated in @sustainableplymouth`s Annual Community Clean-Up Day! Thank you for helping keep our campus clean 💚#doingHSdifferently
