Lower School

Lower School celebrates childhood in an age-appropriate, developmental learning environment for students. Pre-K 3 through third grade students enjoy a balanced 21st century learning program which nurtures the development of critical thinking skills and self-confident learners. Students love to explore new ideas through hands-on activities, enjoy reading, engage in both hard work and play, use appropriate technology, respect self and others, and assume leadership roles through collaborative engagement.

Being well rounded is valued, and good character development is as important as the quest for academic excellence. Creativity and risk-taking are honored in the journey.

Lower School is a time when community service activities nurture an understanding of the world’s cultures, and lifelong learning is experienced as a journey. These future citizens of the world develop many skill sets, enjoy innovative problem solving, and demonstrate a genuine love of learning.
