The Springfield Renaissance School is a public magnet school in the Liberty Heights neighborhood of Springfield that has been serving students in grades six through 12 since its opening in 2006. Enrollment at Springfield Renaissance reaches roughly 700 students who share the renovated and expanded school building on Carew Street with Van Sickle Middle School and Rise Academy.
Springfield Renaissance is an Expeditionary Learning school, an educational model where students participate in Crew, an advisory-type structure that places students in a core community group each year with a support teacher that follows them through their middle and high school years at the school.
Students take courses in core academic subjects in addition to electives in drama, yearbook, art and more. Students in ninth through 12th grade can sign up for a slate of Advanced Placement courses offered by the school, plus week-long intensives and hands-on expeditions, case studies, field work and serving learning projects to round out their educational experience.
In addition to academics, students at Springfield Renaissance have several options for extracurriculars and athletics, including gardening, chess, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, swimming and cheerleading.

Small high school. Something I would wish to see change is a more involved student body when it came to events.

This final year is the only year where I can say I've learned so much. You don't realize the amount of work and effort you put into once the year is done. And so far I can say, that renaissance has helped me reach pass my limits and become a greater achiever towards college readiness. I am thankful for the growth of my personality, and my strength in academics.
