Welcome
Nativity Preparatory School of New Bedford is an accredited all-boys middle school that caters to low-income families with students in grades 5-8. The school is located in downtown New Bedford, a stone’s throw from the city’s preeminent cultural and recreational attractions. In order to facilitate the academic and moral development of its students, Nativity Preparatory School operates on a long and rigorous school schedule that incorporates the study of traditional subject matter with the arts, athletics, extracurriculars and additional study time.
Nativity provides a unique environment in which students and their families are actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the school. The analogy that our founder, Mr. Barry Hynes, uses is that of a “three-legged stool.” In order for the students to get the most of their education here, a serious commitment must be made by the parents, the students, and the school. Without any one of those “legs,” the stool is no longer functional.
Each year we accept approximately 20 students, primarily into grades 5 and 6. For more information or for an application, please visit the link at right. More information can also be obtained by exploring the website or by contacting the school directly at (508) 994-3800. Thank you for your interest in Nativity, and we look forward to hearing from you.
