Boston Children’s School turns 60
The Boston Children’s School celebrated a major milestone this past May.
Founded in 1965, the Boston Children’s School, a pioneer in private early elementary education, celebrated its 60th Jubilee Anniversary at the West End Museum. The Boston Children’s School began as a private preschool during the redevelopment phase of the West End. Over the years the school expanded. Today, in addition to the original preschool, the Boston Children’s School also offers Kindergarten and Grades 1 thorough 3 programs. Its student body is international.
This iconic school is still situated in its original location at 8 Whittier Place in Boston. Registration is open to all children between 2.9 and 7 years of age.
