Welcome to Lower School (K-6th)

Our curriculum, activities, and expectations are specifically designed to honor the developing minds, bodies, and hearts of our students. When children’s ideas and questions are taken seriously, their intellectual inquiry is boundless. Young scholars are inquisitive by nature, and they do best when their learning is immersive and experiential. Nourishing the enthusiasm of young students creates an atmosphere of joyous discovery and builds the competencies students need to dig deeper and take on greater challenges.


Join us for Open House on January 23!
