Josiah Quincy Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boston, United States, serving students aged 4 to 11. The school delivers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and has been an IB World School since September 2022. It is the first Boston Public Elementary School to earn accreditation for the PYP, with a guaranteed pathway to the Josiah Quincy Upper School (IB-accredited). Beginning in September 2025, a Mandarin Bilingual Education Program starts in K1, with instruction in English and Mandarin and Math taught in Mandarin. Heritage classes are held twice weekly. Students are expected to remain in the program through fifth grade and may continue Mandarin through 12th grade at the Upper School. The program prioritizes access for students whose home language is Chinese. The school has educated Boston's children since the mid-1800s, within Boston Public Schools, reflecting a long tradition in the district. It anchors multilingual education district-wide today.
