About the Roger Clap Elementary School
Welcome Families
Welcome to the Roger Clap Elementary School! We are excited to welcome you and your family to our school community.
At the Roger Clap Elementary School, excellence is the standard. Our school is determined to provide all of our students with an equal opportunity to learn. Our school is made up of a diverse group of students and staff members that are hard working members of the Boston community.
At the Roger Clap Elementary, we educate students from K1 to Sixth Grade. Our students are provided with great opportunities that allow them to be successful in and out of school. Community partners and organizations include: Catie's Closet, Home for Little Wanderers, Winning Every Student, BalletRox, Strong Women, Strong Girls and more!
Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of experiences outside of the classroom including Museum of Science, Boston Children's Museum and more!

Vision Statement
Regardless of his or her socio-economic, linguistic and academic history, each student is educated to the highest level through a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum. We also educate students to become knowledgeable of, civically engaged in, and involved in the service of their school, the local community, and the global community. We do this not just through our curriculum, but by field trips, community service, and our bi-weekly Town Hall Meetings with inspirational members of the local community.
