"This remarkable partnership between schools and higher education…is the longest sustained educational collaboration of its size and quality in the United States. It has been a two-way street in which everyone benefits - most especially the children of Boston. "

- Gregory R. Anrig, former Massachusetts Commissioner of Education

Welcome to the Boston Higher Education Partnership (BHEP) website. The BHEP is a cooperative effort on the part of 32 Boston area colleges and universities and the Boston Public Schools to support the academic achievement of young people in Boston so that they can become engaged and productive citizens.

The BHEP focuses its efforts on five initiatives: creating pathways to college, influencing public policy, conducting research that informs practice, preparing and supporting new teachers, and enhancing professional development.

Through our website, created by Boston Public School students with TechBoston Consulting Group, we hope to share our mission of improving and supporting BPS students' ability to access a college degree.
