Our Mission
The
mission of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School is to provide a
quality education to every student through rigorous, comprehensive, and
personalized teaching and learning. Working in partnership with families
and the wider community, we maintain a nurturing, respectful, and safe
environment where educators and students hold themselves to high
standards. We value academic excellence, creativity, diversity,
perseverance, collaboration, and responsible decision-making. Within and

democratic society.

Block Scheduling
In
2005, CRLS implemented the 4x4 Block Schedule with four 84-minute
periods each day and
two 90-day semesters each year. The Block Schedule
provides many benefits to students and
teachers including: fewer
classes for students to prepare for each night, fewer books and
materials to manage, and more individualized attention from the
teacher. The longer class
periods give students more time to think and
engage in active learning. Teachers benefit from
more useable
instructional time each day because less time is lost with beginning and
ending
classes. Fewer class changes in a day mean less chance for
disruption and discipline problems
at school. Learn more >>

In
addition, the High School Extension Program (HSEP) serves a small
population of high school students who have had difficulty achieving
academic success in a more traditional setting. Located at the former
Longfellow School building at 359 Broadway, the program is modeled on
other successful, nontraditional high school programs in the nation. Learn more >>
