_The Thomas Edison K8 School serves children in grades K1 through 8 in an environment that is nurturing, engaging, and rigorous.

Edison students learn to read, write, compute and think through a high expectations curriculum that includes academic and arts instruction every day.  The Edison School embraces the spirit of invention and experimentation that were the hallmarks of Thomas Edison.

Self-assessment is a theme for teachers and students as they constantly ask themselves, “How am I doing? What have I learned? How can I help myself learn more.”  Adults and children inquire together about how something works, how best to solve a problem, or to effectively show what they have learned.

Our community is committed to the Five R’s: Responsibility, Respect, Resourcefulness, Righteousness and Rigor as values that will allow all our community members to be successful in whatever endeavor they choose to pursue.

The Edison K8 School, part of the Boston Public Schools district, serves approximately 750 students in ten grades from pre-kindergarten to eight. It was formed in 2009 by the merger of the Edison Middle School, Hamilton Elementary School, and Garfield Elementary School. The school has a focus on the performing arts—drama, music, and dance—and has partnerships with many area organizations, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston College, City Connects, Jackson Mann Community Center, Opera Boston, Peace First, and UBS Financial Services. Students and their families come from over 60 different countries and speak more than 20 different languages. Of the students the Edison serves, 83% qualify for subsidized lunch, 21% are English language learners, and 22% have special needs. The school is located at 60 Glenmont Road in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston.
