IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Bread & Roses Integrated Arts High School seeks to build a learning community that serves families in their desire to provide a challenging and meaningful education for their children. We believe that school should be a place of possibility where, in an atmosphere of academic and creative excellence, all students are challenged and prepared for higher education, the world of work and for community involvment. In our small and nurturing environment students are known as individuals. Parents, teachers, administrators, community-based organizations and community members work collaboratively with students and with each other to develop individuals who can become successful, lifelong learners. We believe that our work is more than academic. We believe that all students must develop a positive sense of their own worth, respect for themselves and others, dedication to hard work and a commitment to serve their communities.

DID YOU KNOW?
  • The school's name was taken from a song of protest which chronicled early 20th century labor struggles in Lawrence Mills, Massachusetts. The song and poem, written by James Oppenheim, states, "...Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!"
