About This Cause
Sizer School, A North Central Charter Essential School, is a free public school located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The school’s founding group, closely associated with the Francis Parker Charter Essential School in Devens, desired to address a concern that very few students from Fitchburg or Leominster, two racially and economically diverse small cities, were attending or applying to Parker. Sizer School founders hoped to provide the same type of high quality learning environment to a diverse community of learners. Chartered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in May 2001, the school opened its doors to 235 students in grades seven to nine in September 2002. In June 2006 North Central Charter Essential School graduated its first full class of graduates with 95%+ of these students heading to college or a post-secondary programs. In 2014 North Central Charter School became Sizer School, in honor of Ted Sizer, founder of essential schools. Serving students from 7th through 12th grade, the school is chartered to enroll up to 400 students. Sizer serves students from thirty cities and towns in central Massachusetts, including, but not limited to: Ashburnham, Ashby, Clinton, Fitchburg, Gardner, Lancaster, Leominster, Lunenburg, Princeton, Sterling, Templeton, Townsend, and Westminster OUR MISSION STATEMENT: Sizer School is a public school where students are known personally, challenged intellectually, and participate actively. Guided by its commitment to diversity and inclusiveness, the school seeks to send graduates into the world who THINK for themselves, CARE about others, and ACT creatively and responsibly.
