Lower School classrooms are colorful, comfortable, and alive with activities that enable the individual student to progress in a stable, nurturing environment. Starting in prekindergarten, we combine a stimulating academic program with sensitivity to children's developmental needs. Working individually and in groups, students not only learn academic subjects, but also learn independence, tolerance, and cooperation. Technology is used to extend and enhance classroom instruction. Through specialized software programs, students have access to comprehensive curricula and interactive learning experiences at multiple grade levels, allowing them to advance or review as necessary.
Teachers can monitor their progress through computerized records and progress reports.
Life in the elementary grades is full of interesting activities, both during and after school. A variety of lessons, classes, and experiences, including dance, karate, chess, arts and crafts, and computers, are conveniently offered on campus. As Lower School parents, you will learn of your child's progress through report cards, phone calls, and teacher-parent conferences. We provide parents an opportunity to participate in school activities through the University Family Organization at the Davie campus and the University School Parent Teachers Association at the Coral Springs campus.
