One step inside our lower school tells you that this is a special place. It is a place where children are treasured, where eager learners are encouraged to take the next step, to ask the next question and to discover the next truth. It is a place where imagination is valued as highly as diligence, where hugs are dispensed as freely as assignments, and where each child's developing confidence and commitment to learning are their own rewards.

On any given day, in the lower school classroom you will see children engaged in learning and play—listening, creating, writing, singing, watching, dancing, concentrating. You will see our students publish their own books, put on plays, host art shows, participate in interscholastic athletics, and work on community service projects, all while building the educational foundation that will prepare them for the rest of their lives.

Our lower school faculty are experienced and committed educators who understand and value young minds. All extensively trained in early childhood and elementary education, our teachers use a team approach, gathering input from parents and on-staff learning resource specialists—as well as their own close observations—to customize their teaching methods and content to address each child’s strengths and interests. These master teachers are supported in their work by their assistant teachers, who bring additional energy, creativity and innovation to each child’s educational experience. 

Latin lower school teachers are the soul of the program and it is their mission to make each of our students feel successful and special.
