Overview

Catholic Memorial School (CM) is a college preparatory school for boys (Grades 7-12)
located in a very safe neighborhood of Boston less than 10 miles from Harvard, MIT, and
the city center. CM students benefit from the resources at the local universities in a
variety of ways. For example, several professors from universities such as Harvard, MIT,
and Boston College have visited CM to share lectures with the students. The school
features a first-class teaching faculty, including 90% who hold advanced degrees and
five with PhDs. Of these teachers, ten are graduates of the Ivy League and nearly 70%
graduated from a Top 30 university.
The academic curriculum is rigorous and places a special emphasis on inquiry,
collaboration, and innovation while preparing students for success at the most selective
universities and liberal arts colleges in the United States. In 2018, 35 students achieved
the prestigious distinction of AP Scholar for outstanding performance on numerous AP
exams. The school’s STEM offerings are especially rich with numerous AP, Honors, and
elective courses that focus on areas such as Math, Science, Computer Science, Design
Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, and Robotics. CM is also well-known
for its abundant extracurricular opportunities, highlighted by the Speech and Debate
Team which has won two consecutive Massachusetts state championships to solidify its
status as the #1 team in the state, a variety of opportunities in music and the arts, and a
robust athletics program that has produced over 100 combined national, state, and
regional championships.
