About the Mather School:
"The Mather School is the oldest free public elementary school in North America. The school is located in historic Dorchester, Massachusetts and was named after Richard Mather, an English-born American Congregational minister who emigrated to Boston and settled in Dorchester in 1635. The first building, established in 1639, was a one room
schoolhouse, where all grades shared a single classroom and teacher. Students who lived too far away to walk to school would either ride a horse or take a horse drawn bus, called a kid-hack! The original schoolhouse served until 1694, when a contract was made to build a house twenty feet long and nineteen feet wide, with a ground floor, a chamber above, a flight of stairs, and a chimney. The successor of this first school is where today’s Mather School is located at Meeting House Hill. The old Mather School was located on the same site where the fire station is now."

The Mather School also offers the Vietnamese Dual Language strand that allows students to grow and develop Vietnamese language, literacy skills, and speaking.
​“Our mission is to educate and empower all children to reach their potential through academic and socially enriching experiences.” (Mather School website)
