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 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 math and literacy skills in the process.
Two offerings bridge these programs. 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 new Teen Bridge Program gathers a small group of middle school students 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.

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.

“My students of all abilities were able to thrive, be creative and express their opinions through art.”“The communication with the staff members from the Eliot School has been crucial. The instructors definitely have made a huge difference. They have built relationships with very tough students and have engaged them in ways I have never seen before.”
Hands-on Learning for AllWe believe all children have the right to great art education. Our School Partnership Program reaches children who may not receive art, woodworking or tinkering classes anywhere else. Our high-quality classes take place at many locations across Boston—in public 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.
ScholarshipsOur Scholarship Fund provides a bridge for children from our School Partnership Program to 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.
Quality TeachingGood 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, charter schools, Boston Public Schools and community partners.
We also collaborate with the Boston Public Schools Arts Office 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.
