WHY APPLY
In September of 1995, the school opened in Hull. In 2003, SSCPS moved to its current campus in Norwell. Although the school’s location has changed over the years, our commitment to the founders' original vision and mission continues. As stated in the original charter school proposal, we are committed to providing students with an education which fosters initiative, critical thinking, leadership, teamwork, and communication.
Students come from more than 24 different communities and, as a result, one of our major strengths is our diverse and multi-talented student body.
