Collaborations with Tufts University
Eliot-Pearson Children’s School seeks collaborations with academic programs at Tufts University to offer a robust and purposeful learning experience to our children, as well as to the students at Tufts University, by harnessing the valuable resources and expertise within our academic community. Over the years, our collaborations have expanded to include several Arts and Science departments within and outside of Tufts University, local, national, and international schools, and lab projects.
