Josiah Quincy Elementary School  昆士小學

A Portal For The Community and a Gateway to The World

A community center: The Josiah Quincy School moved to its present Washington Street location in 1976, and the facilities were built with the community in mind. The building, standing out with its mural based on drawings by neighborhood children, is a portal for vital social services. The South Cove Community Health Center on the ground floor provides medical and dental care and other health services. The Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center operates its Red Oak After School program in the Quincy School building. BCNC has extensive outreach services, including childcare, recreation, and adult education. Even on the weekends, the school building is buzzing with language classes and meetings of neighborhood groups.

Access to the world: The Quincy School ’s location downtown gives students access to world-class institutions. The school has set up educational partnerships with organizations such as the Children’s Museum, Big Brother/Big Sister, MIT, Tufts University , Northeastern University , and the New England Medical Center . Proximity to Boston ’s cultural and professional centers opens up young people’s minds to global possibilities. Lessons in the classroom are connected to the world at large through field trips and guest speakers.
