Academics
In each of our three divisions, Lower (K-5), Middle (6-8) and Upper (9-12), we have created a developmentally appropriate program that is challenging, inspires a love of learning, and augments the many academic and interpersonal strengths our diverse student body bring to class each day.
The Lower School academic program provides a strong foundation of concepts and skills in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science, art, foreign language, library, music, physical education, and technology in a supportive environment. Teachers integrate hands-on activities, simulations, field trips, service learning, and multimedia projects with the academic program. Basic skills are taught in a sequential program that progresses within the grade level and across the six year Lower School program.
