The Lower School program (First through Fifth Grade) provides a motivating and nurturing environment where all children feel respected and honored. Teachers create an environment for productive learning. An emphasis on both mastering the basic skills and challenging students to use them in creative and far-reaching ways is integral to our program. Personal responsibility for learning is fostered through classrooms that are safe for students to explore, ask questions, and experiment with individual and collective ideas.
