Boston College Connections

Students, faculty and staff at Boston College play a key role in the enhancement of our academic, co-curricular and fundraising programs:

All teachers are required to obtain a master's degree
BC provides opportunities for the school’s teachers to earn fully sponsored master’s degrees from Boston College’s Lynch School of Education and Human Development
In return, after obtaining their master's degree from BC, the teacher commits to three additional years at STCPS
This program further enhances a continuity of knowledge and practice between BC and STCPS and increases teacher retention at Saint Columbkille

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) at Boston College has adopted our school and links undergraduate students with us to help develop our co-curricular programs
As part of the Read Aloud Program, Boston College employees volunteer to read to our students in the classroom
The male and female athletic teams mentor students within after-school athletic clubs
Volunteers from the 4 Boston program serve as aides to our teachers in the after-school program
Through the Boston College Neighborhood Center, Boston College students tutor our students in a variety of subjects
Boston College Marching Band members work with our students, providing after-school instrumental music lessons

We are grateful for the support of the Boston College community who have collectively donated toward financial aid and capital campaigns
The BC Race to Educate is our premier fundraising event supported by Boston College Athletics
