Our Lower School is a place where joy-filled learning is embedded in play, exploration, and discovery. Whether at a desk or in the garden, art studio, or playground, learning is engaging as “skills and drills” take their place alongside teamwork, collaboration, and critical questioning—why?, how?, what if? The experience is as academically challenging and exciting as it is supportive and structured.
