About Us

Duxbury Public Schools

Welcome to Duxbury Public Schools, where rich history meets modern excellence in education. Nestled along Massachusetts' beautiful South Shore, just 35 miles southeast of Boston, our community of over 16,000 residents takes pride in both our heritage and our commitment to education.

Our story begins with the Pilgrims' first landing in 1620, and since then, Duxbury has flourished from its origins as America's first naval base and shipbuilding center into a vibrant community known for its pristine beaches, historical landmarks, and strong educational foundation.

Our school system consists of four schools serving our community::

  • Chandler School (PreK-Grade 2)

  • Alden School (Grades 3-5)

  • Duxbury Middle School (Grades 6-8)

  • Duxbury High School (Grades 9-12)

Here in Duxbury, we embrace our historical roots and modern educational practices to serve all our students. From the historic Alden House and King Caesar House to our current school facilities, we're proud to be part of this community's continuing story.
