Learning First Charter Public School moving to the former home of Saint Mary’s School in Worcester
Updated 10:49 AM;
The classrooms and hallway of St. Mary’s Schools, which closed last June, will soon be filled will students again.
Learning First Charter Public School announced on Monday that it will be relocating from 51 Gage St. in Worcester to the former home of Saint Mary’s Schools at 50 Richland St.
The school and its 670 students from kindergarten through eighth grade will begin classes at their new home in the fall. The move coincides with Learning First Charter Public’s 25th anniversary.
The Learning First Charter Public School in Worcester will move to the site of St. Mary s Schools off Vernon Street to occupy a building that closed last year.
Learning First plans to start a $14-million renovation this fall and move in over the summer of 2022. Those costs will be funded primarily through tax-exempt bonds, donations, historic tax credits, and cash the school has saved, Learning First said.
A limited liability corporation registered to the charter school s business services manager and others bought the site on April 1 as part of a $4.3-million deal.
Learning First will move from 51 Gage St. to the St. Mary s site, which it said in an announcement Monday is a better fit with more parking, a bigger gymnasium and other classroom needs. The charter school, which has 670 students, was called Seven Hills Charter Public School until changing its name last year, not being affiliated with the Worcester-based Seven Hills Foundation.
