Alma del Mar Charter Schools

Alma’s scholars and families come from across the city of New Bedford and therefore, our community is truly representative of the geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity of our city. Our families own local businesses, offer incredible opportunities for New Bedford youth to play sports and work in areas of public service. For more than a decade, Alma has been a school in, and of, New Bedford. We are proud of the many ways Alma families are a part of the local community, and strive to give back and support them as well.

Alma del Mar is an inclusive, K-8 Expeditionary Learning school that puts New Bedford children on a college trajectory and challenges them to be service-minded leaders. By engaging in a rigorous academic program with an emphasis on meaningful work, our students will master essential skills and content, take ownership of their learning and think boldly while addressing complex academic and community issues.
