Cambridge is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, in the Greater Boston area. It was named in honor of the University of Cambridge in England, a nexus of the Puritan theology embraced by the town's founders. Cambridge is home to two internationally prominent universities, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. According to a 2008 census estimate, the city population was 105,594. It is the fourth most populous city in the state, behind Boston, Worcester, and Springfield. Cambridge is one of the two county seats of Middlesex County (Lowell is the other).
Cambridge Economy
Manufacturing was an important part of the economy in the late 19th and early 20th century, but educational institutions are the city's biggest employers today. Both Harvard and MIT together employ about 20,000. As a cradle of technological innovation, Cambridge was home to such legendary technology firms as Analog Devices, Akamai, Bolt, Beranek, and Newman (BBN Technologies) (now part of Raytheon), General Radio (later GenRad), Lotus Development Corporation (now part of IBM), Polaroid, Symbolics, Thinking Machines, and VMware.
Over the years, most of these tech companies either have grown and moved away or declined and closed their businesses; see this list for more information. In 1996, Polaroid, Arthur D. Little, and Lotus were all top employers with over 1,000 employees in Cambridge, but declined or disappeared a few years later. In 2005, alongside Harvard and MIT, health care and biotechnology firms such as Genzyme, Biogen Idec, and Novartis dominate the city economy. Biotech firms are located around Kendall Square and East Cambridge, which decades ago were the center of manufacturing. A number of biotechnology companies are also located in University Park at MIT, a new development in another former manufacturing area. None of the high technology firms that once dominated the economy was among the 25 largest employers in 2005, but by 2008 Akamai and ITA Software had grown to be among the largest employers. Many smaller start-ups and IT companies nonetheless remain as important employers.
Google, IBM Research, and Microsoft Research maintain offices in Cambridge. Video game developer Harmonix Music Systems is based in Central Square. The city is also the New England headquarters for Miramax Films and Time Warner Cable.
The proximity of Cambridge's universities has also made the city a center for nonprofit groups and think tanks, including the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Cultural Survival, and One Laptop per Child.
Cambridge Education
Higher education Cambridge is perhaps best known as an academic and intellectual center, owing to its colleges and universities, which include:
- Cambridge College
- Cambridge School of Culinary Arts
- Episcopal Divinity School
- Harvard University
- Hult International Business School
- Lesley University
- Longy School of Music
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Boston
At least 129 of the world's total 780 Nobel Prize winners have been, at some point in their careers, affiliated with universities in Cambridge.
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is also based in Cambridge.
Primary and secondary public education The Cambridge Public School District encompasses twelve elementary schools that follow a variety of different educational systems and philosophies. All but one of the elementary schools extend up to the middle school grades as well. The twelve elementary schools are:
- Amigos School
- Baldwin School
- Cambridgeport School
- Fletcher-Maynard Academy
- Graham and Parks Alternative School
- Haggerty School
- Kennedy-Longfellow School
- King Open School
- Martin Luther King, Jr. School
- Morse School (a Core Knowledge school)
- Peabody School
- Tobin School (a Montessori school)
There are three public high schools serving Cambridge students, including the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. and Community Charter School of Cambridge (www.ccscambridge.org)
In 2003, the CRLS, also known as Rindge, came close to losing its educational accreditation when it was placed on probation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The school has improved under Principal Chris Saheed, graduation rates hover around 98%, and 70% of students gain college admission.
Community Charter School of Cambridge serves 350 students, primarily from Boston and Cambridge, and is a tuition free public charter school with a college preparatory curriculum. All students from the class of 2009 and 2010 gained admission to college.
Outside of the main public schools are public charter schools including: Benjamin Banneker Charter School, which serves students in grades K-6, Community Charter School of Cambridge, which is located in Kendall Square and serves students in grades 7–12, and Prospect Hill Academy, a charter school whose upper school is in Central Square, though it is not a part of the Cambridge Public School District.
Primary and secondary private education There are also many private schools in the city including:
- Boston Archdiocesan Choir School (BACS)
- Buckingham Browne & Nichols (BB&N)
- Cambridge Montessori School (CMS)
- Cambridge Friends School. Thomas Waring served as the founding headmaster of the school.
- Fayerweather Street School (FSS)
- International School of Boston (ISB, formerly École Bilingue)
- Matignon High School
- North Cambridge Catholic High School
- Shady Hill School
- St. Peter School
