Lower School

Providing students a solid academic foundation is at the core of the Lower School program. Learning is made both meaningful and engaging through hand-on activities and a balance of individual and group work. By maintaining continuity through the grades, whether in math, reading, or spelling, a student is able to progress at the pace for which s/he is best suited. The small class sizes ensure all students are challenged and motivated to learn and grow.

The Lower School provides an excellent balance of structure and freedom, individualism and group work, academics and play that keeps students engaged and eager to come to school each and every day.
