In 2005, CRLS implemented the 4x4 Block Schedule with four 84-minute periods each day and
two 90-day semesters each year. The Block Schedule provides many benefits to students and
teachers including: fewer classes for students to prepare for each night, fewer books and
materials to manage, and more individualized attention from the teacher. The longer class
periods give students more time to think and engage in active learning. Teachers benefit from
more useable instructional time each day because less time is lost with beginning and ending
classes. Fewer class changes in a day mean less change for disruption and discipline problems
at school. More information is available here.
CRLS includes Rindge School of Technical Arts (RSTA) with state-of-the-art facilities for a wide
variety of career and technical programs. In addition, the High School Extension Program (HSEP) serves a small population of
high school students who have had difficulty achieving academic success in
a more traditional setting. Located at the former Longfellow School building
at 359 Broadway, the program is modeled on other successful, nontraditional
high school programs in the nation.
