Lower Schools

Learning moves beyond the classroom and into the world in grades 1–5. Whether exploring the outdoors, embarking on field trips, or welcoming guest experts, our students engage with their surroundings in meaningful, hands-on ways. A trip to the Carnegie Science Center, for example, transforms a lesson on physics into an interactive experience, where students experiment with forces and motion, watch robots in action, and see science come to life. Back on campus, learning is enriched by visiting experts, like a wildlife conservationist who introduces students to local animals, deepening their understanding of habitats and inspiring a love for the natural world.
