About The Studio

A Constant Work in Progress…

Before the pandemic, the other side of 251 Danforth Street (which recently served as our school office) existed as a shared studio space where a handful of yoga and other wellness practitioners led classes and individual sessions for children and adults. When COVID came to town, we shifted gears and closed the studio to the public, hosting a learning pod group for a year before converting it into a much needed office for our school program. In August 2023 we got the chance to expand our space into the back office of our building and we reopened The Studio to our West End community once again!

Our vision for this iteration of The Studio is all about rebuilding the community connections that took a pause during the pandemic. Our section of Danforth Street is coming alive once again with some lovely new destinations, like our friends over at Zu Bakery, and the Ugly Duckling café across the street. We are thrilled to join this effort and share our cozy studio with you again with plans for upcoming community meet-ups and craft-focused workshops and special events.

Because West End Village School is a classroom first, our Studio development is moving at it’s own pace and our offerings will ebb and flow accordingly. In the 2023-2024 school year we hosted kids music classes, sewing classes, parent workshops, Parent’s Night Out events, and even a baby shower! We’ve taken a pause to pivot this fall after spending the summer prepping to launch a collection of offerings for homeschooling families (when our family took a last minute detour on our plans for that), and are in the process of planning and imagining how we want to best utilize our lovely space in 2025. If you have any classes, events, workshops, etc. that you might like to host here at our Studio, please email josephine@westendvillageschool.com to share your thoughts!
