Madison Park Technical Vocational High School is Boston’s ONLY Career-Vocational Technical education high school. Madison Park offers 20 career programs to choose from.
In the Freshmen year, students will have the opportunity to visit all twenty programs during the Exploratory process before a placement is made. All students rotate their schedule every other week with one full week of academic courses and during CTE week:
CTE courses are designed to teach both background theory and knowledge as the foundation for project based skill development and hands on work. Dedicated students in the construction trades can join the local union for additional training and apprenticeships. Students who excel are eligible for Cooperative placements in their Senior year where they do not attend school during their CTE week but go straight to a job site and get paid while learning from professionals in their industry. Additionally, all students are encouraged to join the dual enrollment programs with our higher education partners.
During senior year, all students develop and present a capstone project that demonstrates mastery of competencies in their vocational area.
All career technical programs require industry-specific safety training. In addition, all students undergo regular career assessments and earn an OSHA Career Safe (workplace safety) Certification.
