Lower School

Elementary school students are the beneficiaries of a rich program that includes a Balanced Literacy approach to Language Arts instruction (reading, writing, and word study), daily lessons in Mathematics, and an emphasis on developing a spirit of inquiry through Science and Social Studies activities. In addition to studying academics with a homeroom teacher, children also spend time with various specialist teachers throughout each day. At Grace, we are respectful of children's cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and spiritual development, and our program intentionally promotes growth in each area. At First through Fifth Grades, cooperative learning skills are emphasized as students learn to ask questions and solve problems.
