Fenway High School's Learning Partners

Over the years, hundreds of adults have contributed to the education of Fenway students. These "Friends of Fenway" ensure that the school's practices stay up to date with contemporary thinking in the main disciplines - Math, Science and Humanities - and provide "real world" learning experiences for students in all types of work environments.

There are many opportunities for outsiders to support Fenway students on their educational path. Fenway relies on its community friends to act as judges at student exhibitions; to serve on its Board of Trustees and Advisory committees; to tutor, mentor and supervise students in worksite internships; to come speak to students about different subjects; to donate equipment, books, supplies, tickets and money; to introduce co-workers to the school and to spread the word about this remarkable inner-city public high school.

Fenway's history of collaboration has included a number of major organizational partnerships. Current partners include Boston's Museum of Science, which has worked closely with Crossroads House students for 10 years, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, which has provided opportunities and support for the school since 2000. A partnership with Emmanuel College was formed in 2004. Some Fenway students take courses at the college and college students provide tutoring assistance to the learning center and classrooms.
