Learn with Passion. Act with Courage. Change the World. The Advent School is a progressive, Reggio-inspired independent school for students in pre-Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. With outstanding academics, small class sizes, and a commitment to diversity and social justice, Advent empowers children to grow into confident and capable readers, writers, and thinkers.
Thematic learning is the foundation of the Advent experience, in which students learn through inquiry, collaboration, and hands-on exploration. By integrating subjects within an overarching theme, children ask meaningful questions, test ideas, and construct knowledge based on authentic experiences and research—building academic and critical thinking skills that stretch beyond grade-level expectations. We use ongoing observations and assessments to understand each child’s growth, and we define rigor as deep and meaningful learning, not just more work. Alongside core studies, Advent students enjoy art, library, music, physical education, science, Spanish, and yoga, all designed to honor multiple ways of learning and expression.
Community is woven into daily life. Through our Buddy Program, younger students are paired with older ones, forming lasting relationships through shared activities and play. After school, children can explore passions further through enrichment classes and private lessons.
At Advent, learning is joyful, purposeful, and connected—empowering students to imagine and shape a better future.
