  Building a Foundation

  At the Lower School, students build the skills needed to become contributing citizens and inquisitive learners. Small class sizes and specialized attention from top early childhood educators help build a foundational knowledge in reading, mathematics, science, social studies, world culture, and the arts.  Character development is a central pillar of the Lower School curriculum, achieved through our weekly chapel program and classroom sessions with our school counselor.

  The Power of Play

  We believe in the power of play. Structured play time is incorporated into the classroom curriculum to help reinforce fundamental concepts. Multiple recess times encourage social interaction and physical activity. Students participates in our physical education program that promotes athletic skills development and habits for healthy living. Swimming instruction in our on-campus indoor pool is also part of the Lower School curriculum.

  One-on-One Learning Support

  In order to identify challenges early and give students the tools needed to be successful in later years, we offer optional, pull-out learning support. Sessions are conducted during the school day, led by our Learning Specialist. The program includes multisensory reading instruction, particularly for students with dyslexia. We also use auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning tools, and a phonics-based reading approach. Cost for this program is based on the individual students' plan.
