The Central Massachusetts Collaborative (CMC), an approved public day school, was founded in 1975 by our member districts, Webster Public Schools and Worcester Public Schools. Oxford Public Schools became a member district in 2020.
CMC is be governed by a Board of Directors who ensure that its purpose of providing educational, clinical, and therapeutic services to children in grades Kindergarten through 12+ (ages 5 to 21) of public school districts in Central Massachusetts is upheld.
CMC provides a quality education to children in need of specialized services while maintaining cost-effective solutions to public school districts. We employ more than 220 full-time dedicated employees and serve over 500 students, from both member and nonmember districts.
CMC strives to build capacity to support all students by developing programs to complement and strengthen the needs of our member districts, thereby enhancing and increasing educational opportunities for all students.
Ongoing civic partnerships further foster students' understanding of the role they have as equal and dynamic citizens. Our practices are consistent with our overall mission of increasing students' self-determination, independence, and academic achievement.
