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

Get ready to explore a world where colors can trick your eyes, change what you see, and transform ordinary objects into something amazing! In this hands-on design adventure, students will discover how color affects mood, perception, and the way we experience the world around us.

Using paint, light, shadow, reflection, and creative building materials, designers will invent colorful creations across a variety of mediums. They’ll experiment with angles, perspective, and optical illusions to make viewers look twice and wonder, “How did they do that?”

It is so exciting to see the Princess of Wales learning about the Reggio Emilia approach to education in Italy today! At Advent, our Reggio-inspired curriculum includes rich and dynamic explorations into science, math, history, literature, and art. Research is driven by the curiosity of students and facilitated by co-teachers, leading to engaged learners, thinkers, and writers.

We extend a warm invitation to Princess Catherine to visit Advent the next time she's in Boston! 😁
