Lower Elementary

Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade

Our Lower Elementary School teachers focus on a unique balance of social, emotional, physical, moral, and academic development that targets specific learning milestones. Our research-driven teaching methods and best classroom practices encourage collaboration, cooperation, and the development of independent thinking. Social, collaborative activities are specifically utilized to foster cognitive growth. Respectful play-based and friendship-oriented experiences help develop successful, well-rounded students who are best prepared for the Upper Elementary Program.
