LOWER SCHOOL
Grades Pre-Kindergarten
Through Five
The Lower School capitalizes on the seemingly boundless energy of young boys, and teachers understand not all learning happens at the desk. Boys, especially younger ones, learn best through movement and hands-on discovery. Experiential, creative, project-based, and interdisciplinary learning is infused across our Lower School curriculum to spark, focus, and grow boys' skills and love of learning.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Grades Six
Through Eight
The Middle School adeptly bridges the wonder years between elementary and secondary education. Boys begin to spread their wings and discover their interests in an encouraging and cooperative environment. They start to take charge of their own education through exposure to a plethora of classes, clubs, and co-curricular experiences. Boys develop study and learning skills to prepare for Upper School and beyond.
UPPER SCHOOL
Grades Nine
Through Twelve
The Upper School prepares young men to build the world of tomorrow. Through a challenging and timeless college-preparatory program, boys discover personal academic interests and develop talents. They explore the arts and learn the value of lifelong fitness and wellness. Moreover, a set of core values and solid relationships with teachers and peers ground their experiences, providing them with the tools to become responsible citizens.
