School Notes Overview: |
The Learning Project is a small, urban elementary school that provides high academic and behavioral standards in a school community that welcomes families from throughout the city and is influenced by a deep respect for each individual. We are a school that believes children learn at different rates and in different ways. We also believe that young children benefit from learning in groups and we are a school where children are challenged to work hard, to become actively engaged in learning, to help one another, to make choices, to take risks, to learn from mistakes and to achieve. Character education shares equal emphasis with a strong foundation in core skills and both are seen as vital tools for academic and personal excellence. Small by design, the school provides close personal attention and support to each child and many cross-grade programs encourage friendships with all ages and contribute to a familial environment. ...read more

- The Learning Project is located in the Back Bay of Boston, a block from the Clarendon Street Playground, "the school's playyard;" five blocks from the Boston Public Library Main Branch--"the school's library;" and five blocks from the Copley Square T station.
- The school provided approximately $340,000 in tuition assistance in 2007/2008 and is committed to keeping its tuition relatively low. Both are reflections of a strong commitment to socio-economic diversity.
- Separate Head Teachers work with each class several times a week in Physical Education, Spanish, Science, Music and Art.
- Guided by a commitment to both direct instruction and project centered learning, the school's faculty challenges every child to do his or her personal best.
- A formal core values/character education program has always been a centerpiece of the school.
- Over 90% of our students qualified to attend the Boston Exam Schools have been accepted to them. Students have also gone on to a variety of independent schools including: Beaver Country Day School, Belmont Hill School, Brimmer and May, BB&N, Catholic Memorial, Hillside, Mt. Alvernia, Newton Country Day School, Noble and Greenough, Park, Rivers, Roxbury Latin, Trinity Academy and Winsor.
