Children write, produce and stage class plays.
They visit the salt water marsh in Wilmington, create a Museum of natural History and serve as junior paleontologists, collect food and supplies for hurricane victims, plot a garden, visit a nursing home, conduct straw ballots for national elections, and learn about other countries as they travel around the world in 180 days. In addition to demonstrating excellence in their fields, teachers are selected for their creativity, attitude, and understanding of the needs of children. By encouraging, stimulating, and nurturing the special child in each one, we help them maximize individual potential, explore unique interests, and develop self-confidence. Students are encouraged to try new endeavors and take risks without fear of failure. In Lower School, we kindle an enthusiasm for learning which carries each child through Providence Day and beyond.
