Lower School

The Lower School spans grades K-5 and immerses children in a developmentally responsive curriculum that addresses the intellectual, social, and emotional needs of each student. Teaching and learning is organized around topics and activities that are meaningful, interesting, and relevant to children at each stage of their development.

 

Through weekly classroom meetings, Lower School students are encouraged to see themselves as important members of the school community and society as a whole. Integrated school-wide projects promote cooperation and problem solving skills and give older students leadership opportunities by mentoring our younger students.

 

The rich and rigorous experiences students have in the Lower School fully prepare them for the academic and social challenges of middle school.

 

We are also pleased to offer the option for K-8 students to enroll in the After School Care Program and enrichment activities. The program provides care, homework assistance and optional activities for Lower & Middle School students from the time classes dismiss until 5 p.m.
