Sunday classes are held in room 110 of Kariotis Hall on the Northeastern University campus, building number 35 in the map below. Closest T stop: Green Line Northeastern.




Weekday classes are held on the third floor of the Science Center just north of Harvard Yard. It is located at One Oxford St, near the center of the following map.


Note: Most streets in Cambridge are 'residential sticker required.' There is 2 hour metered parking all along Mass. Ave and Oxford St. If you are willing to come early, there is a chance you will find a spot. Alternatively, there is free, and available, street parking in Somerville, way at the other end of Kirkland, but it means an eight minute walk back to Harvard.


Pierce School is Located in Brookline Village, behind the main branch of the public library and the town hall, on the corner of Harvard and School Streets. You can click on this link for a map. There is a large parking area behind the school, accessed from Harvard St via Pierce Street and accessed from Washington St via Holden Street. There is also on-street parking on Harvard and Washington. The easiest way to find the Main Office is from the parking lot. Go to the end of Pierce Street (it is a dead end circle). One of the school buildings is on the left and a private gym is on the right. A grassy area slopes down the hill between them. Follow the sidewalk straight down the hill (not the one that branches off to the right). The Main Office is just inside that entrance to the school. I will have signs to help direct you.
