We welcome visitors throughout the year, but it's best to come when classes are in session if you want to see the School in action.
Most visits include a personal interview and
portfolio review, as well as a tour of the School. Although interviews are not an admissions requirement, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the opportunity to meet personally with an admissions counselor. It's a great chance to present your work and receive valuable guidance on portfolio preparation.
The Admissions Office hours are MondayFriday from 9 am until 5 pm. Tours of the school can be scheduled by calling 617-369-3626. As part of your tour you will have the opportunity to meet with admissions staff, review your artwork and tour the facilities of the school. You will also be given a free pass to tour the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This is a great way to experience the Museum School and our programs, meet staff, students and faculty and see our campus.
