Beginning in Grade Three, instrumental music lessons are available on an individual basis or in small group sessions. Students also have the opportunity to sing in a chorus. Recitals and performances occur at various times throughout the school year. Students also have the option of participating in drama class where a variety of acting techniques are explored. MPH believes in introducing students to as many different educational opportunities as possible, and the Lower School brings many guest speakers and performers to the campus.
Children also participate in numerous field trips.
Traditions are very much alive at the school. As they have done for many years, teachers shake hands with every child at the end of the school day. Lunch is served by teachers in a family setting, and weekly assemblies allow for multi-level sharing . These qualities are an important part of the foundation of the MPH Lower School curriculum.
