“Advent absolutely prepares students for the discipline, curiosity, community building and healthy risk taking that will help them grow and thrive in their next schools.”
“For my family, it wasn't about public versus private. It was about Advent versus all other schools.”
As I’ve settled in as Interim Head at Advent, I’ve spoken to over sixty teachers, staff, parents, former parents, and school leaders, and I’ve been struck both by the forthrightness of everyone I’ve met with and by the strong commitment of all members of the Advent family.
At Advent, curiosity is always in season! In the Lower and Upper School Ateliers, students are diving into the science of change—whether it’s the shift from summer to fall or the journey of food from farm to table.
Exciting things are happening in the recess yard! Inspired by children’s interests and curiosity, new spaces and materials are inviting even more creative, collaborative play.
Each fall, Advent’s Pre-K and Kindergarten students embark on a joyful and immersive exploration of monarch butterflies and their incredible life cycle. This annual project invites curiosity, observation, creativity, and care for the natural world—core values of our Reggio-inspired approach.
