The vision of TAG | ALERTA is that all Latino and English Language Learner students in Boston Public Schools will have the opportunity to gain entrance into and success in one of the Boston Public Schools’ exam schools, or high achieving middle/high schools with a college preparatory curriculum.Īlthough the TAG | ALERTA is open to all students in BPS, its services are geared towards Latino and ELL students, with strong partnerships within a variety of Boston Public Schools. We achieve these by implementing stimulating, thematic, and guided programs that are inspired by our young leaders, developed by dedicated teachers, supported by engaged parents, influenced by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, and tailored to the needs of the communities we aim to serve. As a Massachusetts gifted and talented school, we also offer elementary and middle school gifted and talented programs for twice exceptional students, who are gifted but have additional special education needs. In each component TAG | ALERTA integrates leadership development and community building, thereby creating the next generation of Latinx leaders that will uplift the Boston community. We accomplish our mission through various components which provide comprehensive academic, personal, and social support to Latinx youth and English Learners (EL). TAG | ALERTA aims to cultivate young citizens and civic leaders who can respond to their local and global communities’ needs in the areas of art, math and science, education, social development, and social justice. TAG | ALERTA works with the spectrum of Latinx and Multilingual youth, from those who are high-achieving and college-bound, to those who may be struggling and need a little bit of extra help, for it is our philosophy that every student is talented and gifted and it is our responsibility and that of other adults and educators to help students discover, develop and manifest their talents and gifts. ![]()
