OUR VISION: Educating for Life
Bedford Public Schools continues a tradition of educational excellence that starts with early childhood education in our award-winning Great Start Readiness Preschool (GSRP) program. Our three elementary schools — Douglas Road Elementary, Jackman Road Elementary, and Monroe Road Elementary — provide an excellent foundation for students to grow from Young Fives to Grade 5. Bedford Junior High School offers a smoother transition from the elementary atmosphere, featuring a school-within-a-school for 6th graders, followed by more independent learning and students switching classes for grades 7 and 8 in preparation for high school. The numerous academic options available at Bedford High School, along with our Bedford Virtual Academy, enable every student to thrive in classes tailored to their interests or potential college studies or career paths. Our Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses teach real-world, hands-on skills in 13 different career pathways. A wide variety of courses, a strong visual and performing arts program, competitive athletics, and extracurricular opportunities all contribute to a well-rounded education for our graduates. Many graduates leave with college credits and/or industry-recognized certifications. Lifelong learning continues beyond high school and graduation with our Adult Education programs and other enrichment options in our outstanding Community Education program.
Bedford Public Schools has an enrollment of over 4,000 students that routinely exceeds state averages in assessments such as the M-STEP, MME, and SAT thanks to the efforts of our dedicated staff, the hard work of our students, and the support of parents and our community. We are proud to be the Kicking Mules!
