PRIMARY YEARS / ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROGRAM
Grade 1-4: A Strong Foundation for Learning
Lower School is where curiosity, creativity and confidence grow.
Our program provides a strong foundation with a hands-on approach that brings learning to life.
Students engage with teachers, collaborate in groups and participate in integrated learning opportunities. The playfulness that starts in Kindergarten grows each year, staying joyful while experiencing a new, more thorough understanding of the world around them.
