Lower School

Finally, a learning environment designed for your child’s success.

Lower School is where your child will gain the academic skills they need to soar ahead. The Lower School curriculum will help students develop a lifelong love of learning, a strong sense of confidence, and a healthy dose of independence.

Lower School students typically range in age from 5-11, with variations based on skills and readiness.

In all areas of Lower School instruction:

  • Students develop both a thorough understanding of and appreciation for a topic, and become enthusiastic and motivated to learn
  • Small class sizes allow for individualized instruction
  • Teachers select reading materials that are of student interest and at their reading level
  • Hands-on, multi-sensory activities keep students engaged
  • Students learn at their own pace, giving them time to master concepts and develop confidence.
