In Grace Lower School, children discover the joy of learning and begin to acquire the skills and discipline necessary to become successful students. The Lower School program carefully considers all aspects of a child's development: emotional, social, spiritual, physical, and cognitive.
Students learn what it means to be a community--whether in chapel or experiencing service learning projects. We believe that children can best acquire a rich body of knowledge and the skills needed for future learning through a curriculum that is imaginative, developmentally appropriate, and continuously developing.
"In Lower School, we strive to build upon our students' curiosity, while instilling in them a love for learning, a respect for others and their ideas, and a satisfaction in personal accomplishments."
Teachers, embodying Christian values, honor each child as an individual while implementing a comprehensive academic program including language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Our students grow in confidence and self-assurance as teachers display and celebrate work, applaud performance, and encourage classroom participation.
