As a founding member of the National Coalition of Diverse Charter Schools, BVP offers a high-quality school choice to the families of Central Falls, Cumberland, Lincoln, and Pawtucket. The mission of Blackstone Valley Prep is to prepare every scholar to achieve their goals for college and the world beyond.

Our network is designed to be diverse, accepting students from the four communities that share a region but differ substantially in their socio-economic, racial, and ethnic demographics. We seek to create a staff with a similarly diverse set of backgrounds and experiences that reflect that of our students, families, and communities.
