About the Program:
The John D. Philbrick School is one of Boston’s smallest public schools. The size of the school enables teachers to provide personal attention to all children and establish an environment that is both intimate and nurturing. We believe that our students will learn if provided with a rigorous and well-rounded educational experience. To reach this end, we use a workshop approach to reading, writing, and mathematics instruction; we provide specialty classes in science, music, physical education, and art; and we establish extensive business, community, and family partnerships.
Our nurturing community strives to create dynamic learning experiences that challenge, engage and motivate our students to become lifelong learners. We value a strong work ethic and a healthy sense of self, balanced with a clear respect for the rights and differences of others. Immersed in this educational environment, our students will become critical thinkers who are responsible, resilient and productive community leaders.
