Get Inspired Early
Fun is the status quo here at Greenhill Lower School, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Students learn best when they're nurtured, engaged, and valued for who they are. That's why everything we do in Lower School - from literacy to lunchtime - is designed to cultivate individual growth and inspire joyful learning.
"Our mission is to teach your child so much more than how to fill in the blanks," said
Michael Simpson, Head of Lower School. "We believe a strong foundation in education encourages students to chase curiosity, construct understanding, seek evidence, welcome dialogue and discussions, benefit from failure, think globally, and develop an insatiable appetite for learning. We honor and nurture the whole child here, and it shows. Our students grow so much over the course of this rich educational stage. Not to mention, they love coming to school!"
Foundations of Lower School Learning
Unearth the Why. Lower School is an inspiring place where students build social and academic skills that support a lifetime of discovery. Classroom activities help students with varying skillsets and learning styles utilize their higher order thinking skills - not just memorize facts and ace tests.
Co-Curriculars & Language Study. All Lower School students participate in the co-curricular subjects of art, music, library, Spanish, and physical education. Classes instill an appreciation for a multi-faceted approach to learning and establish a firm foundation for continued study.
