Lower School Curriculum

First - Fourth Grade: Our sequential curriculum is rich and engaging, inspiring a love for learning during the important elementary years. Children learn through a range of methods, including flexible small-group instruction, blended learning, direct instruction, collaborative learning and project-based learning (PBL). Each year, as children grow and develop, they are given an increasing amount of age-appropriate independence and academic expectations, building a solid foundation for the upcoming transition to Middle School. Learning opportunities such as the Mammal Zoo (first grade), Patriotic Program (third grade) and Economic & Entrepreneurial Education (E3) (fourth grade) are just a few examples of how lessons come alive in meaningful and joyful ways.
