===Former colleges===

====Newton Junior College====
Newton Junior College, operated by the Newton Public Schools, opened in 1946 to serve the needs of returning [[veterans]] who otherwise would not have been able to continue their education due to the overcrowding of colleges and universities at that time. It used the facilities of Newton High School (now [[Newton North High School]]) until its own adjacent campus was built. It closed in 1976 due to declining enrollment and increased costs.<ref name='ccc'>{{cite web|url=http://closedcollege.bizland.com/massachusetts.htm|title=Massachusetts Closed Colleges|publisher=Closed College Consortium|access-date=October 23, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070921153554/http://www.closedcollege.bizland.com/massachusetts.htm|archive-date=September 21, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> The availability of such places as [[UMass Boston]] contributed to its demise. According to the city, its former campus is now "Claflin Park," a 25-unit multi-family development.
