Our Private Independent Lower School

18 Months - Grade 4

Children enter the world naturally eager to learn. At Country Day’s Lower School, our talented faculty maximizes children’s propensity to learn during their highly formative years by ensuring that each student is known, nurtured, and inspired. In warm and welcoming classrooms, students learn by doing—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 tackling new ideas and concepts. Lower School also values partnering with parents to ensure that each child’s needs are uniquely met. Working in tandem increases students’ confidence, social, emotional, and academic growth. Our youngest learners leave the lower school as active thinkers and doers, eager to continue their learning journeys.
