When Charles Merrill founded Commonwealth, he sought to provide a first-rate education in the heart of Boston and to create opportunity for students from under-represented communities. 

​

This $12.5 million campaign will ensure that the Commonwealth experience carries forward Mr. Merrill's vision for years to come.

"The best brains of 1963 seem to give themselves to problems of the very fast or very big or very small. The job of a school like ours is to hold a scale of the human."
