Lower School: Overview

student and teacher
"If everything were taken away, you would still have the core of what's successful about the Lower School: the relationship between teachers and students."
— Linda Hennelly, Lower School director
One step inside the 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. It is also a busy place where children 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.
