Philosophy
Celebrating Accomplishments
The Lower School enables children to discover emerging capabilities, celebrate accomplishments, and develop confidence and self-esteem. We have created a comfortable and safe learning environment, where students are given opportunities to test new skills, take risks, and learn to deal with failure as well as success.
We teach children about our diverse world by focusing on a variety of cultures and perspectives applied to real-world situations. The curriculum is designed to let students grow emotionally, socially, and academically. They learn problem solving and critical thinking through class discussions, small-group projects, and cooperative learning groups. At the same time, we acknowledge and respect each student's individuality and developmental pace. By combining multiple educational strategies with children's interests, our students become active participants in the education process.
Assessment is narrative. Teachers provide comprehensive written evaluations and regular parent-teacher conferences. Parents may request, or teachers may choose to give, updates on a child's progress at any time.
