From kindergarten through the fourth grade, we foster a strong educational foundation that leads to lifelong passions and a love of learning through hands-on experiences that shape each child’s intrinsic motivation to learn and excel.

The heart of our program is the nurturing relationships between teachers and students. Our dedicated educators inspire curiosity and provide opportunities that encourage creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. By equipping students with the skills necessary for student success and well-being, we empower children to express their ideas and become change agents who embrace challenges with confidence.

Classroom Connections

The Lower School hosts monthly Classroom Connections to provide families the opportunity to get a glimpse of student work in progress. These classroom visits are informal and student-led, allowing children to take pride in their work and share their experiences.
