I can't remember growing up and remembering but one or two of my childhood teachers I liked and was attached to. Our kids still glow and hug each teacher from each grade year when they see them. They love every teacher they have ever had and I have to believe the low student to teacher ratio has a lot to do with it as it allows the kids to get really close to them and a level of attachment that you don't get in other schools.

The Advent School is a very special place, located in the heart of Beacon Hill. Both of my kids have loved their experiences. The small classrooms, the personal attention, the excursions into the city of Boston (and beyond). Each class has two head teachers who really act as a team. The students start Spanish in Pre-K along with yoga, meditation, and art. My kids, a boy and a girl, are very different learners, but both thrive at Advent in their own ways. Most importantly, they are both enthusiastic learners and we credit Advent for this. The community is welcoming, inclusive, and diverse--with kids coming from all over the Boston area. The school has a great energy and our entire family has had a wonderful experience.

I went to Advent for 8 years and can easily say it's been one of the most influential things in my life. Right now I'm going to Milton Academy and even after only being here for a few months I know that what I've learned from Advent has been helping me everyday. It's a really unique school and all the fun projects we did, whether making a movie or portraying an immigrant, have translated really well to Milton. I am really lucky to have gone there and I believe that anyone who decides to go there will see how amazing it is as well.

My daughter has only been at Advent for a few months so far (I'll update this review as we go along), but we are convinced we made the right choice for her, and for us. She loves going to school, the teachers are passionate and engaged, and the other families in the community are welcoming, down-to-earth, and have fascinating stories of their own. What made Advent stand out to us vs. the other elite private schools in Boston was its focus on social justice. They do seem to live their creed in their curriculum, and not only through the diversity of backgrounds we see in the classroom -- we were amused/a little teary eyed when our daughter, inspired by Advent, went "trick or treating for UNICEF" around our neighborhood on Halloween. Schools are not just for teaching academics - they have a tremendous effect on the values our children develop. We are so happy that Advent will be helping us provide our daughter with both strong academics and strong values.

We feel so lucky to have found The Advent School. Seven years in and we couldn't be more pleased with the education our kids are getting. We really value the progressive approach to learning, the welcoming and involved community, the amazing teachers, and the city as the classroom. Our kids love going to school each day - what more could we ask for.
