LOWER SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Lower School students follow a varied and challenging curriculum that develops an in-depth understanding of concepts and skills. Students explore multiple approaches to solving problems while their teachers instruct and guides them along the way. Lower School students know the facts and vocabulary not because they've simply memorized them. Rather, they have developed an understanding of what they mean – an understanding they will build upon as they continue their education.
