Lower School

Kindergarten

Our kindergarten class is taught by a certified lead teacher who continues to develop each child’s individual needs within a formalized Kindergarten curriculum. The program provides academically challenging and developmentally appropriate activities. The curriculum also develops journal writing skills and utilizes thematic study units.

First Grade and Second Grade

First grade is an incredible year of growth! This class is taught by a certified lead teacher who instructs students in phonics and reading fluency. In English Language Arts, students learn to not only improve reading skills, but develop a love of literature. Our first grade students benefit from a cohesive, multi-text approach to literacy and instruction.

Our math program seeks to create engaged, motivated mathematicians with the ability to think critically and problem solve. By encouraging students to understand  the "why," rather than simply applying a formula, we strive to deepen our students' number sense and ability to attack problems.

Kindergarten, first, and second grade classes integrate Smartboard technology into lessons. Additionally, first and second grade classes use Chromebooks for small group instruction to incorporate technology and begin learning keyboarding skills.
