    A new home for North Bennet Street School

    North Bennet Street School is thrilled to report that on May 14, the City of Boston announced an agreement to allow North Bennet Street School to purchase the former city printing plant and police station, located at 152 – 174 North Street in Boston’s North End. The move to North Street will reunite our eight full-time programs under one roof, expand our continuing education program, provide meeting space for students and for the community and greatly enhance our ability to operate as a vibrant education and cultural organization in the city. The printing plant’s industrial space is uniquely suited to our educational needs and the adjacent police station will provide space for administrative offices and meeting rooms. The opportunity to stay in Boston’s North End as we reunite our programs and expand our visibility in the city is one we hope you will join us in celebrating. Read the City of Boston press release.
