The Advent School Mission: Since 1961, The Advent School has stayed true to its founding vision: an urban school whose community reflects the diversity of Boston; a forward-thinking curriculum that inspires and engages a child’s passion for learning; a commitment to social justice; and a culture of collaboration where every child has the confidence to take action in a connected world. In 1961, at the start of Boston’s desegregation conflict, Dr. Mona C. Hull looked at her community and said, “Our children live together. They should learn together in reflection of the city they come from.” Advent was founded as a non-secular school where all of Boston’s children could learn and thrive together, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, neighborhood, or socioeconomic status. 100% of ticket sales go to Advent financial aid fund, ensuring children from all of Boston’s neighborhoods have access to Advent’s premier progressive Reggio Emilia-inspired education.
