The Lower School provides a challenging and innovative curriculum for students in kindergarten through the seventh grade. Teachers have an awareness and concern for individual needs in a program which encourages creativity. An interview, a review of records, recommendations, transcripts and testing are required for entrance into grades K through 7. Under the supervision of qualified personnel, the program is committed to extending the care and guidance that is normally found in the home. Activities will include supervised playtime, snack time, and quiet study time.
Students have the opportunity to attend on-campus athletic events and enjoy the campus setting.
The program operates on all school calendar days. The Early School and Extended Care programs are licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Social Services. There is special emphasis in these formative grades on the development of basic skills. Written communication and thinking skills along with individual expression and self-confidence are developed and expanded. Small classes, creative instruction and a nurturing environment afford an exciting learning experience.
