The Partnership was established in 1989, when, with the approval of the governor and state legislature, the Chelsea School Committee gave Boston University a contract to manage the Chelsea Public Schools. Three basic principles guide the Partnership’s efforts:

-
teachers should be prepared and equipped to teach, and
-
important subject matter must be taught and learned through a coherent plan of instruction.
Now in its fourteenth year, the Boston University/Chelsea Partnership remains a unique and exemplary instance of a public school district managed by a private university.
