The Advent School

The Advent School Founded in 1961, The Advent School is an elementary school in Boston, Massachusetts. We know our students well.

The Advent School's mission is grounded in the principles of social justice. We believe that teaching children within a meaningful historical, cultural, or environmental context builds confident students who seek to make connections within their learning. The Advent School draws upon the city’s historic, cultural and natural resources and considers Boston part of the School campus. From the Museum

of Science to the Freedom Trail, Advent students recognize the benefits of learning in the city. Using the thematic approach, students explore all subjects under the umbrella of a theme. We teach children to think critically and apply their skills in all subject areas including math, literacy, and science. The visual and performing arts play a major role in our program, while technology is the vehicle through which students learn to research and represent their understanding. Children work in small groups led by teachers whose focus is to deepen each student’s understanding. With a diverse population of students, each child brings his or her distinct heritage, direct experience, and talents to the learning environment. Our classrooms foster collaboration, and children learn with and from one another.
