LOWER SCHOOL
Our Lower School program provides academic and psychosocial learning for students in grades K-5.
As students grow through their Lower School years, we continue to build on familiar classroom routines while enhancing instructional content and offering students opportunities to grow in developmentally appropriate areas of independence. Similarly, as students approach later elementary years and the transition to middle school, our program supports continued development in executive functioning, problem-solving, and social-emotional regulation skills in order to foster flexibility and prepare for increased schooling demands.
