The Advent School

Join us on Wednesday, November 4, for our School Day Open House and discover what makes an Advent education such a joyful and transformative experience for children and families. During this engaging event, parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to meet our dedicated faculty, school leaders, current parents, and students while learning about our distinctive Reggio Emilia-inspired approach to education for children in Pre-K through Grade 6.

You'll enjoy a guided tour led by current students, offering an authentic glimpse into daily life at Advent. Visit classrooms and see examples of learning in action, explore our inspiring learning spaces—including the Atelier—and see firsthand how curiosity, creativity, and academic rigor come together in meaningful, project-based learning experiences.
Throughout the program, you'll learn how our students develop confidence, critical thinking skills, strong academic foundations, and a lifelong love of learning. We'll also share how Advent's personalized approach and close-knit community prepare graduates to thrive at Boston's most sought-after independent, public, and exam schools.
Whether you're just beginning your school search or looking for a community where your child will be deeply known, challenged, and celebrated, we invite you to experience the warmth, purpose, and possibility of The Advent School. We look forward to welcoming you.
