Welcome

At Commonwealth we want our students to develop the intellectual tools that are indispensable if reason, not habit, is to guide their thinking and if spirited engagement, not idle consumption, is to characterize their actions. We encourage them to learn about themselves and the world through the lenses of various disciplines, and to cultivate moral imaginations that will enable them to step out of their first-person perspectives and examine words and actions from others’ points of view. We hope they will see that using their talents to serve those around them with thoughtful intelligence will not only improve the lot of others, but also bring deep and abiding satisfaction. Students here are challenged—by the books they read, the arts they practice, the responsibilities they take on, and the many faces of Boston they meet—to cultivate sharp minds and generous hearts.
