Green Meadow Elementary School

The Green Meadow Elementary School serves students from Preschool through Grade 3 and resides on the Maynard Public Schools campus. Our school focuses on fostering curiosity, engagement, and a strong academic foundation.

We welcome our youngest learners as they enter the Green Meadow Preschool, an integrated program that is based on fundamental principles of how young children learn. We believe that all children can be successful and learn in a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment. Our program fosters:

• An excitement for and a love of learning
• Student confidence and personal growth
• The skills to explore, interact, and problem-solve
• The development of social and academic language skills
• A sense of community both in the classroom and in the larger
  school community
• A strong home-school connection

As our students enter our Kindergarten through Grade 3 program, they engage in evidenced-based curriculum that includes a commitment to developing student knowledge and agency. Families may opt for our Spanish Immersion program which begins in Kindergarten. All students are encouraged to explore a variety of interests through weekly classes in art, library, music, physical education, and technology. We are excited to move into a brand new school during the 2026-2027 school year.

Fowler School

Fowler School is proud to see increased student engagement in youth leadership. Our students are expanding their horizons beyond the school walls and thinking about how they can positively impact their community and educational environment. This year, 20 students from grades 7 and 8 are participating in a youth leadership conference where they can further develop and showcase their leadership skills. 

Supporting career and college pathways is a district-wide movement. Maynard is fortunate to have several pathways in the high school that Fowler School can increasingly support through grant funding. The district has applied for and received multiple grants to support this alignment. Over the past two years, more than $50,000 in awarded grants has facilitated the creation of Fowler’s new media class, expanded learning materials, professional development, and student engagement activities. As a result, our students are beginning to explore career interests earlier in their learning journey and pursue pathways that can help them achieve their college and career goals.

Maynard High School

Maynard High School is a small, fully accredited, comprehensive high school serving the historic town of Maynard, Massachusetts. All students receive a personalized education in a school community where they are known, respected, and challenged in their academic, artistic, and athletic pursuits.

• We offer a wide variety of Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, and Virtual High School opportunities, and a rigorous Global Scholars interdisciplinary certificate for students interested in researching global languages, issues, and connections. 
• We celebrate our bilingual students by promoting biliteracy as a valuable life skill, regardless of their first language. In 2024, 19% of our graduates were able to add the Massachusetts Seal of Biliteracy to their transcripts. 
• Our student-led FCC-licensed radio and television station, WAVM, offers technical and leadership opportunities that rival those available in top universities’ Communication programs. Our Chapter 74 Vocational Program in Media uses the WAVM facility during school hours. 
• We offer Innovation Career Pathways in Computer Science and Business/Finance, connecting students to the Maynard Business Alliance, Maynard Town Hall, and many other community partners for internships and career connections.

Whether they are planning for college, a career, or the military, Maynard High School (MHS) graduates are prepared to enter adulthood as engaged and active citizens, ready to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
