The Bowditch School is an historic school building at 80–82 Green Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The three-story brick-and-granite Classical Revival building was designed by Harrison Henry Atwood, a prominent local architect, and was built in 1892. Its main facade has a projecting three-part pavilion, with square entry openings at the base, and round-arch windows at the top level, with a modillioned cornice. It is named for Nathaniel Bowditch, a noted early 19th-century astronomer and mathematician.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=bos.8977|title=MACRIS inventory record for Bowditch School|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-06-10}}

By 1981 Boston Public Schools stopped using the facility, and the city government deemed it excess to the city's needs in July of that year.{{cite web|url=https://www.jphs.org/victorian-era/bowditch-school.html|title=Bowditch School - National Register Materials|publisher=Jamaica Plain Historical Society|accessdate=2020-10-24|quote=The Bowditch School, declared a surplus property by the City of Boston in July of 1981, has been vacant since that time.}}
