Lower School

Grades K-4

Learning becomes truly meaningful when we present individual skills within the context of larger problems or challenges. We provide a Lower School curriculum that allows children to learn important skills by exploring complex and engaging topics and issues, all while prioritizing their social-emotional growth.

The Lower School consists of kindergarten through fourth grades. There are three homerooms at each grade level. Each homeroom has 18-20 students and one full-time head teacher and one full-time associate teacher. 

In Lower School, students develop foundational math and literacy skills, building towards independence in these areas. Integrated social studies units at each grade level provide opportunities for students to apply academic skills to learn about topics in depth. 

Students have specialist classes in science, art, music, physical education, world languages (in grades 3 and 4) and library, while our social and emotional curriculum helps students understand themselves as learners and sets the stage for collaboration, empathy, and self-advocacy.
