Proof of residency for exam school applicants
Application to the City's three exam schools requires students who are not currently enrolled in the BPS to verify their Boston residency with a BPS Welcome Center. Applicants who have not provided proof of Boston residency by the deadline will not be considered for invitation to the three schools (Boston Latin Academy, the O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science, and Boston Latin School). Please visit our website for more information regarding the current admission cycle.
If the student currently attends a public school outside the city of Boston (excluding METCO program schools) we will require a letter from the respective Superintendent from that city or town stating that they are aware of Boston residency, as per our requirement, but attending their public school. The letter must be original, notarized, on school district letterhead, and must be presented in person with the BPS required residency documents during the verification period.
