Welcome to English Class!!

The Holden School is a small, private, non-profit middle/high school located in Charlestown with a reputation for providing high quality special education, counseling and behavioral interventions to low income, high risk students. Since first opening its doors in 1976, the Holden School has been guided by the belief that young people who many believe will fail can succeed and contribute constructively to their communities if they receive a supportive yet disciplined environment and the attention of caring, skilled adults.

The mission of the Holden School is to provide high-quality special education and counseling to students in grades six through twelve with the dual objective of either returning students to a mainstream educational setting, or graduating students with the education and life skills needed in the workplace and higher education.
