North Zone Open House Schedules

Hi Everyone,
Here is the list of all the North Zone Schools and the open houses that are still available.  Many of the schools will also show you around if you call and ask to come in.


I have two girls at the Warren Prescott in Charlestown, and many others have kids in other schools like the Eliot, Quincy, and then private and parochial schools including St. John's, the Advent, Learning Project, Fesenden, Milton Academy, and many others.


Maybe the best thing to do, is for us to have a West End Parent's Group gathering, and parents can talk to each other and ask questions. I will try to arrange a date in January. Please let me know if you would be interested in this kind of event.


Please try and attend the open houses to get a feel for the school that you are interested in!
