BVP is an INTENTIONALLY DIVERSE network of tuition-free public charter schools. As a founding member of the National Coalition of Diverse Charter Schools, BVP offers a high-quality school choice to the families of Central Falls, Cumberland, Lincoln, and Pawtucket.

We believe firmly that all scholars can achieve success in college and the world beyond, so we proactively work to foster a college­ prep culture. Apart from academics, we believe that preparing scholars for the world beyond also means experiencing the diversity of the world we live in today. Our network is designed to be diverse, accepting students from two traditionally higher-­income communities of Cumberland and Lincoln and two from predominantly lower-­income communities of Pawtucket and Central Falls.  We seek to create a staff with a similarly diverse set of backgrounds and experiences that reflect the diversity of our students, families, and communities. Blackstone Valley Prep (BVP) Mayoral Academy is now hiring ROCKSTAR TEAM MEMBERS who are willing to do whatever it takes to put all scholars on a path to college. Successful candidates should understand and advocate for the importance of diversity in classrooms, curricula, and throughout school systems.
