In the Classroom

Lower School (PreK-5th)

Nurturing curiosity from day one.
Our Lower School teachers prepare young students as strong learners, equipped with highly effective academic skills and motivated to grow as independent readers, writers, and thinkers. Cultivating godly and affirming relationships with each student, we encourage them to grow in confidence and Holy Spirit-grown character as they learn more about the ways God has gifted them, and as they learn more about God Himself and His love for them.
