A Day in the Life: Lower School

Overview

Promoting the growth of each child’s sense of herself as a unique individual and as a valued member of the community is the primary goal of the Lower School program. To achieve this goal, the Lower School faculty focuses on all aspects of each child’s development: intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional and physical. This approach to education fosters the development of a student who is open to learning and the joy of life, who is sensitive to the world around her and who is appreciative of her own unique gifts and the gifts of others.

The Lower School academic program includes Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Religion, Library, Dance, Music, Physical Education and Art. The World Language Program introduces students to French, Spanish or Chinese in kindergarten. Students also receive instruction in technology. An array of after-school activities—including sports, crafts workshops and swimming—enhance the regular academic program.

Lower School students are also active participants in many age-appropriate community service projects, such as Jump Rope for Uganda, which helps raise money for our sister school in Uganda.
