GLCPS is a public school; therefore, there is no fee to attend. Applicants are selected through a blind lottery that takes place each year in March. There are no interviews, admissions tests, or review of a student's previous school records. All students, including English language learners and special education students in New Bedford entering grades 5 through 10 are welcome to apply. Families are encouraged to start their school planning early
as the best chance for a student to enter GLCPS is by applying in the 4th grade to start in the 5th grade.
“We invite New Bedford families to visit us and learn more about what we offer here at the
GLCPS community” said Stephen Furtado Jr., Executive Director of GLCPS. “All are welcome to
attend our tours and open house and visit our state of the art STEAM Education Center. Our
faculty and our students thrive in our interactive learning environment and we are pleased to
have the opportunity to showcase their wonderful achievements.”
