Boston as a Classroom *

The Advent School was founded on Brimmer Street in Beacon Hill. For 65 years, the School has made its home alongside the residents, businesses, and cultural institutions that also call the Hill home. The Advent community takes pride in its place as a Beacon Hill neighbor and contributor to the Hill's important history.

Advent's students see Boston as an extension of their classroom. In our Beacon Hill neighborhood, students shop at DeLuca’s Market to practice their math skills, and regularly visit the Public Garden and the Esplanade for science, art, and PE.

In February, Advent students and parents collaborate with Beacon Hill Books & Cafe to display recommended reading for Black History Month.

In May, retail businesses proudly display student artwork during the school’s annual Art Stroll.

In addition to the above, students embark on field trips to the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, the Freedom Trail, the Black History Trail, branches of the Boston Public Library, the Massachusetts State House, and more, documenting their visits on a community display in Advent’s Family Center.
