Wednesdays: October 15, October 22, and November 19
9:00-10:30AM, 15 Brimmer Street in Boston
Open Houses at The Advent School are intentionally scheduled during a school day to give prospective families the opportunity to see current Advent students authentically engaging in learning with their classmates and teachers.
On a tour of our Reggio-inspired elementary school, you’ll see vibrant, light-filled classrooms designed as “third teachers,” where materials are carefully arranged to spark curiosity. Student work is displayed thoughtfully, documenting learning as an evolving process. Natural elements, such as plants, wood, and outdoor learning spaces, invite children to connect with the world around them. Teachers and students collaborate at large tables, in cozy nooks, or outdoors, reflecting the value of relationships and community. You will see an atmosphere of inquiry, creativity, and respect—where children’s voices, questions, and ideas guide projects and shape the rhythm of the day.
Join us to tour the school, ask questions, and discover the unique magic that is Advent!
Register for October 15, October 22, or November 19
