We can't wait to Welcome the class of 2031 to Renaissance this Tuesday!!!

This Wednesday night we want to welcome the class of 2028 to get ready for 9th grade!!

This past Wednesday, we came together to celebrate our 8th graders, who have shown us why they are ready for High School through the power of their passage portfolio. A portfolio is a selected body of student work—with reflections—that provides evidence of a student’s progress toward standards, learning targets, and character growth. They are benchmark presentations at the end of pivotal transition years in all EL Schools worldwide. We celebrated this accomplishment with the support and encouragement of their teachers, parents, other students, family members, and community members. Congrats to our 8th graders!!!

Congratulations to Xyler Lazare!!

Scholars honored at Kamari B. Williams ceremony in Springfield Honoring Springfield’s outstanding scholars brought the community together Tuesday evening in the city.

Today is a day of collective celebration for all the remarkable achievements the class of 2024 has accomplished over their years at 1170 Carew St. From the first day they stepped into our halls to the countless hours of hard work and dedication to the moments of triumph and joy; their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Their incredible resilience, demonstrated by overcoming numerous challenges and achieving your goals, has paved their pathway to success after the Renaissance. You have earned countless college acceptances and millions of dollars in scholarships and financial aid, a testament to your collective excellence. You are the epitome of what our current students aspire to be. When leaving SLFCs and Passages the past couple of weeks, families have been in awe of the college acceptance display in the hallway, a symbol of your collective success. Congrats to the class of 2024; we can't wait to celebrate you at graduation on June 13th.

Come out this week and next week to support our seniors!!
