The Lower School serves grades K1-5. Our innovative program centers on our four ideals of our teaching philosophy: collaboration, creativity, exploration, and play.
The Joy of Learning
The Lower School provides developmentally appropriate and academically rich experiences that nurture creativity, foster social interactions, and teach appreciation for our community. Outside of the classroom, our students benefit from living in a culturally rich city, which they explore on a regular basis.
