Lower School

From learning-to-read to reading-to-learn, the lower school journey is punctuated by the creation and use of language.

Math instruction flows from concrete to representational to abstract, aligning number sense to problem-solving skills--practical and conceptual.

A team of teachers lay the academic foundations for a successful future.

Defining the Difference

Class Size

Class sizes average 14 students, ranging from 11 to 18. The student-to-teacher ratio is 8-to-1.

Nurturing

Social-emotional development is as important as cognitive growth. Teachers cultivate a love of learning.

Co-curriculars

Library, physical education, studio art, and performing arts are weekly pull-out classes with teacher experts.

Mindfulness

Yoga, "super-powers," and belly breaths are all tools of the MBSR teacher, trained to help.

Mission-appropriate

The lower program is open to mission-appropriate families who place a priority on education. Report cards, student visit, ability testing, and teacher recommendation forms are part of the process. The Academy is a small school, sustained by tuition without tax support. Our resources may not suffice for the success of every student.
