Lower Elementary
Grades 1 to 4
Our Lower Elementary program builds on the Montessori preschool experience, nurturing children’s natural curiosity and joy for learning. In a safe and supportive environment, students explore the interconnectedness of life while developing both academic skills and social responsibility.

At this stage of development students are interested in reasons, explanations and time perspective, rather that just “what and where.” We recognize the individual needs and learning styles of each student and that educational success involves more than academic skills. Our well balanced program includes sports, music, art, horseback riding, tennis and many other extra curricular opportunities for the children to experience.
Each student is encouraged to work to his or her full potential. Children are allowed to make choices in the classroom and control their own pace of learning. Our students develop self confidence, independence, fine critical thinking skills and become excellent problem solvers.
