Lower School PreK–5th

In the Grammar stage, roughly equivalent to the elementary years, we take advantage of a young child’s innate capacity to memorize and retain information by teaching underlying facts and relationships of each subject. Teaching methods used at this stage of learning include chants, jingles, rhymes, and songs that make facts easier to memorize and remember, as well as hands-on learning experiences that nurture curiosity and creativity.
