Welcome to Boston Public Schools Registration

Discover BPS is school search engine that helps parents understand where their children are eligible to go to school.


See our school choice guides for more information about how to choose the school that is the best fit for you and your family: School Choice Reference Guide

Please note that as part of Build BPS, a number of schools will have changes in the grades that they offer for the 2020-2021 school year.  Several schools will be expanding from K-5 to K-6 and will serve 6th grade for the first time.  These changes will take effect for the school year starting in September, 2020.  For a complete list of Build BPS changes, please visit www.bostonpublicschools.org/buildbps.

Please enter your student's name, address and sibling school information to see a list of eligible schools.
