Lower School
Our Lower School builds the foundation for a student’s academic and spiritual life through hands-on learning, meaningful relationships, and a focus on curiosity and character. These are the years when confidence takes root and students begin to understand how they learn best.
“What I love most about my job is I get to walk with kids intentionally and disciple them for three years and help them become best friends with Jesus.”
