LOWER SCHOOL

Learning And Growing In All Areas

In Lower School, we develop creative, independent thinkers who enjoy learning as they discover truths about themselves and the world around them.  In our bright, open spaces children are encouraged to problem-solve, take risks, and be creative as they learn and grow in all areas—intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Enrichment classes include Physical Education, Art, Music, Library/Media, and Spanish. As an Apple Distinguished School, students have instant access to technology, which is integrated throughout our Lower School and STEM curricula, as well as in our Innovation Lab.

Lower School students develop leadership skills through opportunities to serve others. Whether it is through classroom responsibilities, service projects, or opportunities to lead and mentor younger students as a Sunshine or Chapel Helper, Lower Schoolers learn to make a difference in their communities.
