Table of ContentsThe Eliot School inspires lifelong learning in craftsmanship and creativity for all. Celebrating skills and imagination, we encourage our students to create using head, hands and heart. 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, comfortable and welcoming, and a buzz of activity fills our schoolhouse. Our students cover the range from beginners to experienced artists.

Our Partnership Program brings art and woodworking into Boston’s public schools, libraries, housing developments and community centers. Our artists and artisans turn classrooms, cafeterias, teachers’ lounges and community rooms into wood shops and art rooms. Through our partnerships, each year over 1,500 students in Grades K–8 experience the pleasures of making things by hand. They absorb math and literacy skills in the process, learn to take intelligent risks and reap the rewards of trial and error.

Our Scholarship Fund bridges our two programs, allowing low-income students from our Partnership Program to take classes in our schoolhouse.

We invite you to join us with hammer, thimble, camera or brush. Satisfy your desire to create and enjoy the pleasures of craftsmanship.

Children & Teens

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.

Children & Teens

Our HistoryThe Eliot School celebrates its 340th birthday in 2016. We will be inviting you to join in some festivities!

In 1676, thirty-eight residents of Jamaica Plain donated corn to support a school. John Eliot, local farmer and missionary, gave land to educate Africans, Native Americans and “children from this end of town.”

In the late 19th century, the school turned its focus to the arts. Manual arts, traditionally practiced at home, were disappearing in modern cities. Called on to supplement Boston’s public school offerings, the Eliot School taught woodworking, cooking and more. Training for schoolteachers followed, then instruction for adults, then children’s after-school programs. The Eliot School played a role in the spread of shop class to schools across the nation. People attended classes in our schoolhouse, reports said, “to satisfy that instinctive desire of human beings to create.”

Today, we are known for the quality of our faculty, our welcoming atmosphere, our small class size, the charm of our historic site and our extensive work bringing art and shop classes back into Boston’s public schools.

Children & Teens

“My son absolutely loved the Comics class.

Highlight of the week.”

“This program had a positive effect on our students. It gave them an opportunity to go outside of their comfort zone, experience something new and create projects using handheld tools and wood. Most children are not offered woodworking in schools any more. This was a very valuable creative learning experience for them.”

“I like how we got to use different materials and create stuff I never created before. I learned I could do more things than I thought I could.”

“I like when I use my imagination and do good work.”

Art & Woodworking in Boston Public Schools and the CommunityWe teach visual arts, fiber arts and woodworking both during the day and after school to 1,500 children each year in Boston’s public schools, libraries, low-income housing developments and community centers. Our students use imagination and creativity while building skills and confidence. Our hands-on curriculum aligns with Common Core and supports learning in math, literacy, social studies and science. Classes can last from one session to a full year. Our middle school programs target the needs and interests of students in grades 6–8, and include opportunities to meet professionals in the fields of art, construction and design.

Our Scholarship Fund offers a bridge for children from our partnership programs to our schoolhouse. Through our scholarships, each year about 50 children from low-income households are able to attend our Summer Program for Children and schoolhouse classes.

Building a K–8 Arts PathwayIn addition to direct work in the classroom, we are working to build high quality, sequential art education for all children in grades K–8 in a cluster of schools within the Boston Public School (BPS) system.

In collaboration with the BPS Arts Department and the BPS Arts Expansion Initiative, we have built a visual arts pathway for all students in one Boston neighborhood, Roslindale, and now strive to expand our success in Network E. One of six K–8 clusters in the Boston Public School system, Network E serves over 6,000 students in Hyde Park, Mattapan, Roslindale and West Roxbury. BPS art specialists from Network E and our own faculty regularly share curricula and best practices. They visit each others’ classrooms and learn from observing each other at work.

We work with principals on strategies to support art in their schools, and our annual Youth Arts Festival shows off the excellent work of Network E students and strengthens parent and community support.

Teaching QualityGreat art teachers are at the core of all our programs. We provide extensive professional development, sharing opportunities and support for our partnership teachers. Each year, our teachers share curricula and lesson plans. They participate in workshops on arts and literacy, cultural relevancy, classroom management, special needs teaching, curriculum development and more.
