ACCEPT Education Collaborative Students

Since 1974, ACCEPT has provided excellence and innovation in educational practice for school districts in Metrowest Boston.

Working collaboratively, ACCEPT offers opportunities for districts to stretch dollars and better meet the needs of students. This allows districts to maximize their investments in learning and growth. Flexible and adaptable, ACCEPT quickly responds to the individual needs of member districts with new programs and services. ACCEPT is supported primarily by fee-for-service activities, with an annual operating budget of almost $18.6 million.


In 2018-2019 ACCEPT marked its 45th year of serving students, families, and districts in the Metrowest area. Over the years, ACCEPT has evolved and grown in educational programs and transportation services, as well as professional development, school consultation, program and student evaluations, home-based services, Medicaid reimbursement, and more.
