The Lower School is a place that fosters children’s innate sense of curiosity, play, and wonder, as positive energy and warmth permeates our hallways and classrooms. Opening any door unveils communities full of possibility, discovery, and love. Students’ days are filled with exploration and risk-taking as they unearth their greater purpose and embark on a journey toward lifelong learning. 

Our primary approach is to support students toward becoming critical thinkers, creative agents, effective communicators, and purposeful collaborators. Throughout a typical week, students engage in a wide variety of classes and learning experiences that help them cultivate a strong, well-rounded foundational base. Our teachers strive to nurture and model a growth mindset and help students to embrace multiple perspectives and grow as empathetic leaders.

 

"The Lower School is a special and unique time in the life of children and their families. We have the privilege of receiving students as their first entry point into formal education and celebrate the honor and delight of that work. The Lower School anchors the foundational skill and knowledge building that affords deep exploration, the joy of discovery, and the habit of curiosity in developmentally appropriate ways for all children. We welcome the opportunity to partner with families in service to the growth and development of their child."

Ashley Treiger
Head of Lower School

Community Experience

The annual Fall Festival, one of the Lower School’s most beloved traditions, takes place around Halloween. While wearing their costumes, students participate in numerous fun activities, including crafts, cookie decorating, carnival games, field day competitions, face painting, a scavenger hunt, and an inflatable obstacle course. Parent volunteers organize much of the festival and serve hot chocolate, popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy to students.
