School Notes

The Learning Project is a small elementary school, grades K-6, centrally located in the heart of Boston.
We believe in nurturing students' academic and personal growth and encouraging the joy and creativity within each child.
We offer a lower-than-average tuition and generous financial assistance, so a family's ability to pay should never be a barrier to applying to or attending The LP.

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 is committed to keeping its tuition relatively low and has a robust financial assistance program. Both are reflections of a strong commitment to socio-economic diversity.
Separate Subject Teachers work with each class several times a week in art, music, physical education, social emotional learning, Spanish and science.
Guided by a commitment to teaching in the "workshop model", 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.
