Lower School
Grades 1-4
Our students are hands-on explorers, uncovering questions, paths, objects, and disciplines that captivate and inspire them. Guided by our patient and insightful teachers, they build essential skills at every grade level, all while following their unique interests. This is how we learn — through curiosity, discovery, challenge, and engagement.

The Reggio Approach in Action
Reggio Emilia is a child-focused and inquiry-based approach to learning, particularly for young children. As part of the Reggio Emilia Approach in the primary years, we focus on quality and formative learning experiences critical to brain development and maximizing a child’s learning potential. We value intellectual curiosity and original thinking to co-create learning experiences with students, designing projects and conducting long-term studies and explorations to leverage our time-tested, challenging academics in developmentally appropriate ways.
Children master concepts on different timelines. Our experienced teachers, intentional classroom setup, and supportive School environment work in harmony to celebrate and foster differentiation. This means ample time for children who need more of it, and building challenge for those students who are ready for more. Teachers rely on the science of learning to create an invigorating environment to meet students' diverse needs and abilities and maximize learning for each and every student.
