Lower School
The Start of Something Brilliant.
Big things begin in the Lower School. Here, curiosity is celebrated, questions are welcomed, and every discovery lights the path forward. We believe these early years are more than a beginning—they’re the spark that sets a lifelong love of learning in motion.
Our forward-thinking approach helps young learners grow in confidence and independence while building a strong academic foundation. Along the way, they’re encouraged to explore boldly, think creatively, and wonder often.
Learning stretches beyond the classroom, thanks to specialist-led classes in maker space, art, music, science, nature, library, physical education, and Spanish. These experiences happen in vibrant, hands-on spaces where imaginations run wild and ideas come to life.
Just as important is the sense of belonging we build. From family-style lunches and weekly gatherings to cross-grade friendships and joyful school traditions, our Lower School is a place where children feel known, connected, and excited to come to school each day.
Because every bright future has to start somewhere—and we think this is the best place to begin.
Our faculty to student ratio and team-style collaboration with parents help support the development of strong individualized relationships with students, crafting each child's educational journey toward success.
Start THINKING AHEAD.
