Lower School (K-4)

Building the Foundation

Our integrated curriculum fosters spiritual, academic, artistic, musical, technological, and physical growth. It is challenging and goal-oriented, using age-appropriate methods, tools, and technology tailored to each child’s development. Concepts are taught according to grade level and build on prior knowledge. Depending on the grade, subjects are introduced, developed, mastered, or maintained. Students are assessed through a variety of formal and informal methods, including observation, class participation, homework, projects, quizzes, and tests.

As you review our curriculum, you will see that teaching children is important to us. The strength of our curriculum is validated by various measures. Star Testing scores reflect our students’ academic progress and growth over time.

Students in these grades are assigned to a primary classroom for their core subjects. Additional class subjects such as art, physical education, and music are attended throughout the week, allowing students to experience different teachers and providing important exposure to enrichment opportunities.
