Intentional Learning, Every Step of the Way
Primary & Middle School
-
Lower Primary (PA - PC)
Our Lower Primary program is thoughtfully designed to work in harmony with the natural curiosity, creativity, and adventurous spirit of young learners.
Surrounded by caring, attentive adults, students are immersed in hands-on experiences that spark wonder, encourage exploration, and build confidence. Children are encouraged to embrace the learning process, take academic risks, and approach challenges with courage and perseverance. Through flexible and targeted learning groups, along with intentional integration of technology, students experience a school day that is engaging, dynamic, and developmentally responsive.
Our Lower Primary classrooms hum with purposeful activity. Each classroom is led by two full-time teachers who collaborate to differentiate instruction and meet learners where they are—while inspiring them to grow to their fullest potential in Reading and Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies. Science, Physical Education, Art, Music, and Spanish are taught or co-taught by specialized instructors, ensuring a rich and well-rounded educational experience from the very start.

Upper Primary (PD - PF)
Upper Primary students thrive in an environment that nurtures independence while continuing to provide the guidance and support essential during this pivotal stage of development.
As students deepen their understanding of the world around them, they are challenged with engaging academic opportunities that encourage critical thinking, curiosity, and self-advocacy. Learners are guided to ask meaningful questions, seek thoughtful solutions, and approach their work with confidence and growing ownership.
Our Upper Primary classrooms continue the co-teaching model, allowing students to explore more advanced concepts while benefiting from individualized attention and strong relationships with trusted adults. High academic expectations are paired with a warm, relaxed, and joyful classroom culture—one that values collaboration, resilience, and a genuine love of learning as students prepare for the transition to middle school.

Middle School (MSA - MSC)
The academic rigor and intentional design of our Middle School program have a lasting impact on the lives of our students.
Middle school is a crucial time of growth and transformation, as the foundational skills developed in primary school evolve into deeper academic focus and personal responsibility. During these years, students engage in more specialized coursework that prepares them for the demands of high school and beyond—all within the supportive structure of small class sizes and strong faculty relationships. Students are challenged to think critically, explore complex ideas, and consider the limitless possibilities ahead of them.
Our Middle School faculty is composed of dedicated, experienced educators who understand the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of adolescents. Teachers instruct within their areas of specialization and work collaboratively to integrate curriculum across disciplines. Through this intentional approach, students are supported, challenged, and empowered to grow into confident, capable learners prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
An Emphasis on Academics
Academic excellence is grounded in strong relationships, thoughtful instruction, and high expectations at every stage of a child’s journey. From Lower Primary through Middle School, our classrooms are dynamic learning environments where curiosity is nurtured, skills are strengthened, and students are encouraged to think deeply and confidently.
In the Lower and Upper Primary years, core academic subjects are led by dedicated classroom teachers who differentiate learning to meet students where they are, while specialty subjects are taught or co-taught by teachers with expertise in those fields. As students grow, they are guided into more advanced concepts within an environment that balances challenge with joy, structure with creativity, and rigor with genuine care.
Our Middle School program builds purposefully upon this foundation, supporting students through a critical period of academic and personal growth. With an increased emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning, students engage in more rigorous coursework while continuing to benefit from close relationships with teachers who know them well. This intentional progression prepares students not only for success in high school, but for the confidence, adaptability, and intellectual curiosity needed well beyond the classroom.
