We’re thrilled to celebrate this special milestone in our school’s history with a year of celebrations for our entire community—current families, alumni, and friends! Together, let's create lasting memories as we celebrate this significant chapter in our school's journey and prepare for what’s to come as we continue to pursue our vision to be the beacon of excellence in teaching, learning, and belonging in the heart of downtown Birmingham!

Every other year, the Advent Parent Association (APA) hosts an auction benefiting our school and students. Our next auction is scheduled for March 14, 2025! We’ll be kicking off our 75th Anniversary Celebrations! Guests will enjoy a live and silent auction and dinner while raising funds to support Advent’s award-winning education experience for students in the heart of downtown Birmingham!
May 7 | Retired & Former Faculty/Staff Reception
Reconnect and reminisce with former colleagues as we honor those who have been a fundamental part of Advent’s history and where we are today! We will also recognize those who have recently retired or are about to retire, in appreciation of their lasting contributions to Advent!
June 5 | Summer Alumni Party
Join us for an informal gathering at a local brewery! This is a wonderful opportunity for alumni to reconnect, reminisce, and enjoy each other's company in a relaxed atmosphere. Check back soon fore more details!
August 2025 | Time Capsule Project
As we begin the 2025-2026 school year, students will have an opportunity to celebrate the start of Advent’s 75th academic year by creating a time capsule. This capsule will capture the spirit of Advent through letters, small mementos, and words of wisdom. Preserving the memories and hopes of today, our time capsule will serve to remind future Advent students of the legacy they’re a part of, inspiring them to carry it forward.
October 1 | Inaugural Legacy Family Breakfast
We’re excited to invite our legacy families—those with multiple generations of Advent students—to join us for our first-ever Legacy Family Breakfast. After Chapel, we will gather to celebrate with a breakfast for those who have chosen to make an Advent education part of their family tradition!
November 7 | Advent Day of Service
On this special day, our students, faculty, and staff will honor the part of Advent’s mission that is dedicated to preparing our students for lives of service to others. We’ll honor our 75th year in the heart of downtown Birmingham by spending the day giving back to our community!
December 12 & 14 | Festival of Lessons & Carols
Our 75th celebration would not be complete without the Advent tradition of Lessons & Carols. Advent's Festival of Lessons & Carols has a unique tradition of its own: each year, students and alumni join together to sing O Holy Night in French. Alumni and their families are invited to a reception after the Sunday service!
