Our Private Independent Elementary School

18 Months - Grade 4 where students are known and nurtured

Welcome to our Lower School. Our talented faculty maximizes children’s propensity to learn during their highly formative years by ensuring that each student is known and nurtured as an individual with unique qualities and needs. In warm and welcoming classrooms and across our 60-acre campus, students learn by doing with a project-based approach—the most effective and lasting type of learning. Our youngest scholars are introduced to academics in a joyful way, which optimizes learning and fosters students who are engaged, curious, and excited about exploring interests and ideas through critical thinking and problem solving. We value the parent partnership to ensure that each child’s needs are uniquely met as this collaboration increases students’ confidence, social, emotional, and academic growth. With our small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios, students develop into active thinkers and doers, eager to continue their learning journey in our Middle School and beyond.
