The Lower School program provides an academically challenging program in context of a caring environment. Recognizing and celebrating each child's innate curiosity, abilities and creativity, the curriculum is carefully designed to foster the development of independent, compassionate students. We strive to prepare children to understand more fully our increasingly complex world. Teachers consistently reflect upon developmental and academic objectives at each grade level to help individualize for learners and shape their curriculum. Constantly "nudging" children to new zones of intellectual development is a basic task of teachers of young learners.
