Summer Programs
LearningBOSTON and ADVENTures in Learning take place during June and July and are led by Advent teachers. LearningBOSTON is a two-week program based on a city theme. In mixed-age groups children explore Boston and collaborate on a culminating project that integrates the Arts, Reading, and Writing. ADVENTures in Learning is a four-week skills program that meets three mornings a week to address children’s academic needs. Individualized instruction coupled with small group work make learning fun and productive.
LearningBOSTON 2010: Art in the City of Boston
This summer we will create one or more large scale collaborative works of art, to which all students will contribute. Each child, in a partnership or group, will consider ways to represent the city of Boston, its history, and its culture. Our ultimate goal is to make an artistic contribution to the city, which communicates the shared message of our group.
Session 1: June 14 – June 18, 2010
Session 2: June 21 – June 25, 2010
Session 3: August 30 – September 3, 2010
Cost: $400 per session; some financial aid is available. Space is limited.

“What is absolutely unique [about the Advent School] is the judgment, creativity, and developmental attention with which its rich multi-cultural program has been constructed. If any school will underscore and illuminate the opportunity and challenge with which multi-cultural education can be considered, this fine, small, humane scholarly little school can do it for us all.”
