Thank you for your interest in the Bancroft School of Massage Therapy, Inc.

Since that time, Swedish Massage has become one of the most widely accepted forms of massage in the world today.

I had great hopes for this school. My wife needs only 80 hours of CLINICAL work to finish her license, which involves no schooling/classes, only time with massage clients, as a final graduate requirement by the Mass State Board. So I called them with hopes of her finishing in a month or so. Their wonderful admissions director told me the school will make no exceptions, that my wife would have to transfer a maximum of 75% of her credits and then RETAKE basically 120 hours of additional schooling SHE HAS ALREADY HAD!
No wonder the Admissions Director has such a bad reputation. Why would anyone want to deal with a place like this? I fear the school must have an inability to run a reasonable for-profit business. Obviously she, and everyone there are just in it for the money. Instead, I would recommend a better school, Spa Tech Institute in Westboro. At least they will work with you to find a way to graduate!

Bancroft is extremely welcoming to new students, has a well thought out massage program and is accredited by the state of Massachusetts. If you're looking to attend massage school- this is the place! Compassion Massage has several Bancroft graduates as employees and our clients love them! You will not be disappointed.

I attended Bancroft this past year and was amazed at the caring and supportive team of both administrators and faculty at the school. The moment I walked in the door I could feel that this was a place where people cared about what they do and wanted to share their knowledge. All of the teachers want you to succeed and will do everything to make sure you finish school and are more than prepared for a career in massage therapy. After interning at a a local wellness center I can say that I feel more than prepared to work as a Massage Therapist.

The admissions director Judie Morin is a JOKE to this place. She's one of the rudest and immature people I've ever encountered. What she said the entire time I went to check out the school she was saying to people "YOU THINK YOUR GOOD BUT YOUR NOT THAT GOOD". She said this to people who don't practice enough and said it slow and loud like she was proud of it.
How is this encouraging saying this to students is beyond me! She also said many rude things like I wouldn't be able to be a student and do well. When I passed midterm, mcas, and I'm a Tri County grad. Also she talked to me like she didn't want me to get any sleep literally. Told me to practice on my parents, their friends, relatives and the list went on from their.
She was seriously saying everything like I'd have no free time or time to sleep which was even more of a joke. Also she was right away picking on other schools saying what they don't do that Bancroft does better. Other things that she was saying right away we were there that I don't recall were totally rude and not encouraging. I could seriously teach her how to become normal, encouraging, and welcoming to incoming students because she's that bad.
It's seriously a mystery how she thinks what she was saying was encouraging at all. The owner seemed like a nice guy but it's strange that he hired an admissions person like her. If you will attend this school PLEASE do yourself a favor and ask to meet with the owner or ANYBODY else there except Judie and AVOID her at all costs if you want to be encouraged and successful.

I recently moved to Massachusetts from Texas, where I was a licensed massage therapist. When I applied for my license here, I found out I had to take fifty more hours of training in order to practice massage in this state. Bancroft was very accommodating, and made this process as easy as possible for me. All the office personnel, teachers, and students were supportive, well educated and passionate about massage.
I was only charged for the hours that I needed, and I was able to set up a schedule that allowed me to finish my required hours as quickly as possible. It was a great experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone seeking to study massage, as well as to anyone new to the state who requires a specific amount of hours to receive their Massachusetts massage license.
