After school students in Kindergarten through Second Grade collaborated with teacher Mr. Hassan on a joyful stop motion animation project: A New Year’s greeting for the Advent community!

"A teacher’s attention not only creates the connection with a student that makes learning possible, but gives the child the assurance they need to open their attention to wonder, exploration, and growth. It is this light, the awareness we share, which, directed as attention, is the most precious, essential ingredient of our work as a school.”

Get ready to see why Fifth and Sixth Graders couldn’t stop talking about this experiment!

In this fun and engaging science demo, Interim Head of School Bill Wharton shows how air pressure can crush a steel can once a vacuum is created inside.

At Advent, we believe that learning to read and write should be both joyful and empowering. Literacy is woven throughout the school day as students engage in both thematically integrated, inquiry-based projects and receive dedicated instruction in phonics, grammar, and comprehension. In this way, Advent cultivates a love of language and builds each child’s own identity as a reader and a writer. 

At The Advent School, we empower students to step into leadership roles—and these Third Graders did just that!
