February Vacation Program

February Vacation Program 

February 16-19, 2027

We’re thrilled to kick off our 2027 Vacation Programs with an expanded school vacation week program in February! Our February Vacation Program runs Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 3:45 PM. It is open to students ages 6-8 and 9-12. 

We only offer full-day programming during February Vacation week. All instruction will take place inside the Eliot Schoolhouse. Lunch will take place two blocks down Eliot Street at Eliot Hall (7A Eliot Street). If the weather allows, students will have outdoor play time in the Schoolyard during their snack and lunch breaks. 

Our February Vacation Program offers instruction in four media: visual arts, mixed media, fiber arts, and woodworking. Families will select a combination of two media for their student's morning and afternoon classes. Please view all possible combinations under "Registration Links" below. Each class will be led by two teaching staff and capped at 12 students to allow for individual attention.

Financial Aid

The Eliot School is committed to making our classes and workshops as accessible as possible to all people regardless of age, ability, background, or economic means. We are happy to offer a limited number of full and partial scholarships to increase access to arts programming for young people. Please note that due to high demand, there are additional terms and conditions for Vacation Program financial aid. 

If applying for multiple children, families must submit separate applications for each child. 

To apply for a scholarship for our February and/or April Vacation Programs, please complete our standard Scholarship Application. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the programs fill or funds are exhausted.  

• Families with income-related benefits, e.g., EBT, SSI, SSDI, TANF, Veterans' Benefit, WIC, Pell Grants, receive priority for full scholarships. 
• If a student can no longer attend a program for which they received a scholarship, they need to be formally withdrawn no later than Monday, February 1. Improper withdrawal may affect future scholarship eligibility. 
• Full attendance is expected for all students. If a student misses two or more days of a week of program, they will be ineligible for financial aid for one year. This may be waived in special circumstances. 
• Scholarship awards are not finalized until they are formally accepted by the applicant. The Eliot School may rescind and redistribute financial aid awards if acceptance procedure is not followed.  

Refunds & Withdrawals

It is not possible to withdraw directly through our website. Please contact our Education & Engagement Coordinator to withdraw.  

All refunds are subject to a $20 processing fee from our payment platform. 

Registrations made within two weeks of program start dates are considered “late registrations” and are ineligible for refunds. 

Deadlines: 

• Full refunds given up through Wednesday, January 13, 2027
• 50% refund given up through Monday, February 1, 2027
• No refunds given after Tuesday, February 2, 2027

If a serious illness, major injury, or death in the family means you need to withdraw from a class outside of our normal time allowance, please speak with our Education & Engagement Coordinator to make special arrangements.
