Ongoing collaboration is essential for imagining new possibilities for education.

The Advent School offers many ways to engage in dialogue about social justice teaching and Reggio-inspired progressive education.

Educator Visits

Educator Visits offer an intimate experience for small groups. This experience includes in-class observations, a tour of the school, and time for dialogue with fellow educators.

Educator Visits are tailored to those working in early education and upper elementary positions and for educational leaders and administrators. All visits are from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.

The Advent Collaborative is the School’s signature event for the educator community.

This day-long conference brings together public, private, charter, and independent school educators for shared dialogue and learning. Participants learn and engage in conversations about Reggio-inspired social justice education.

Participants engage in morning and afternoon sessions. Hear from a keynote speaker and Advent teachers, then participate in hands-on, small-group workshops. The day includes an opportunity to see Advent's classrooms and campus.
