Table of ContentsThe Eliot School inspires lifelong learning in craftsmanship and creativity for all. Celebrating skills and imagination, we bridge machine tools with handwork, experimentation with tradition. “Art for all” is central to our work. We believe everyone deserves access to excellent art education and the opportunity to make things by hand.

Our classes are small and welcoming. Students—of all ages—cover a range from beginners to experienced artists and artisans. Our Scholarship Fund allows children from low-income households to take classes in our schoolhouse. Preference goes to students enrolled in our school partnership program.

Our Partnership Program brings art and woodworking into Boston’s public schools and community centers. There, our instructors turn classrooms, cafeterias, teachers’ lounges and community rooms into wood shops and art rooms. This year, 2,000 students in grades K–8 will experience the pleasures of making things by hand, absorbing literacy and STEM skills in the process.

Our Teen Bridge Program brings together a select group of teens for art education, mentorship, job training and employment.

We invite you to join us with hammer, thimble, camera or brush. Satisfy your desire to create, enjoy the pleasures of craftsmanship—and support our work spreading “art for all” throughout Boston.

WoodworkingEach woodworking class incorporates beginners and experienced students, with new projects each session. Small classes allow for individual attention. As students gain experience, they build familiarity with tools and materials. Younger children start with hand tools and small projects. Continuing students undertake more complex projects, gaining appreciation for wood as a creative medium. Teens advance to shop etiquette, milling, joinery, layout and power tools. Teens 17 and up may join our adult classes.

All classes emphasize safety and the pleasure of making things and completing them to take home. We provide materials for small projects; for larger projects, instructors will advise students to bring their own. Some instructors allow parents to stay if they wish.

School Partnership Program

Hands-on Learning for AllWe believe all young people have the right to great art education and opportunities. Through our school & community partnerships, we bring art instruction to young people where they are. We work to increase access for all. We provide in-depth arts experiences for those wanting more, and we offer training and support for teachers to achieve these goals. As the needs of our Boston communities change, so do our partnerships.

On-the-Ground InstructionAll Children Deserve Art Every Week

Through partnerships with schools and community sites, we bring hands-on instruction to students where they are—in their communities. Through direct instruction, we reach children who may not receive art, woodworking or tinkering classes anywhere else. Our high-quality classes take place at many locations across Boston—in schools, libraries and community centers.

Our programs ignite creativity, enjoyment and the pride of accomplishment as children make objects and art by hand. Our curriculum supports literacy and STEM and aligns with Common Core. We serve a broad range of learners, including English Language Learners, students with behavioral challenges and students with disabilities.

This year, we are proud to teach 2,000 students throughout the city, from Kindergarten through Grade 8.

Scholarship FundEliminating Barriers to the Arts

Our Scholarship Fund eliminates financial barriers so that young people from our partner schools and community sites can take part in immersive art experiences at our schoolhouse. Some 60 students from low-income households attend our Summer Program for Children and other classes during the school year free of charge.

Teen BridgePathways to the Future

A dedicated group of teens from our partner schools participate outside of school time in a year-round program focused on mentorship, art instruction, job training and summer employment. We encourage the teens to develop their voice, teach them to work as art teachers’ aides and connect them with Boston-based artists and opportunities. Each year’s participants act as the next year’s leaders, shaping the program and mentoring newcomers.

Art Teachers AllianceSupporting Teachers & Quality Teaching

Good teaching depends on skilled, well-supported faculty. Our Art Teachers Alliance improves skills, shares resources and builds collegiality among art teachers from the Eliot School, Boston Public Schools, charter schools and community partners.

We also collaborate with the Boston Public Schools Visual & Performing Arts Dept. to provide professional development for BPS visual arts teachers. The program brings together teachers from across the district for workshops, classroom observations, mutual mentorship and support.

“I have seen many students stay on task

and engaged who struggle to do so in their

classrooms during academic activities.”

supportive place where I feel I can show what I do and what I like to

draw and make.”

“I like that all the projects are creative

and that they are hard but lots of fun.”“I like when I use

my imagination and do good work.”
