Cultivating a Lifelong Love of Reading and Writing
The elementary school years in The Alexander Dawson School's Lower School are filled with joy and discovery because students are engaged and collaborative learners.
Lower School Curriculum
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.

Resilience. Flexibility. Motivation. Confronting a challenge head-on. These are just some important self-efficacy traits embedded within our Insights curriculum to help prepare our students with the skills needed to grow as learners and individuals. And these skills aren’t just meant for the classroom setting; these are skills we all need to exercise in our everyday lives and the workplace.
Dawson’s robust literacy program nurtures a love of reading and writing through an integrated, relevant curriculum aligned with The Science of Reading research and Being a Reader and Being a Writer programs.
