Roxbury Weston Programs has a long history of being progressive. In 1965 an integrated summer camp inspired by the civil rights movement was established followed by a new preschool the next year, thereby creating the state’s first voluntarily desegregated education program.
When we began we were a socially relevant and progressive project by joining children from diverse communities together to learn, play and understand each other. The communities we served knew the value of a good education and the greater value of social understanding and thinking. Today Roxbury Weston Programs is the longest running voluntary desegregation education program in the country.
