Exciting Learning Programs at The Village Lower School

At The Village Lower School, the focus is not merely on accumulating knowledge. It is on making the educational journey enjoyable and inspiring. We realize that each and every student comes to us with their own unique ways of learning. Our goal is to nurture these talents by providing students with an academic and social experience that stimulates and cultivates their wondrous young minds. The curriculum combines a hands-on approach with a creative teaching method, while preserving the individuality of every student.

Our experienced faculty and staff has created an educational environment of forward thinking that encourages students to realize their potential inside and outside the classroom. Here, curiosity thrives. Imaginations prosper, and students learn the spirit of teamwork, while maintaining and expressing their individuality. Above all else, the completion of The Village Lower School program does not mark an ending, rather it marks the beginning of a yearning for lifelong learning.

The Village Lower School provides an enriching program and wonderful curriculum.

Language Arts & Literacy
The most important skill for a child to develop at an early age is the ability to read and write fluently – as the basis for all learning and communication stems from the development of these two faculties. Our program encourages students to use inventive spelling as a means to start their writing process in a positive independent manner.

Math Program
While some children have an incredible aptitude for math, the concepts and applications don’t come as naturally for other students who are equally bright, but don't make the connections quite as quickly.

Science Program
Our science program is best described as a playground of discovery. Here, students flourish in a hands-on environment in which they have the opportunity to delve into activities and experiments as they explore scientific concepts.

Our students learn early on that the world is a wide and wonderful place with many different people and places. We take children on virtual journeys to big cities in the United States and remote villages on the other side of the globe where they discover the vast difference in climates, culture and lifestyle.
