Lower School (K–5)
Building Lifelong Learners
Welcome to lower school! When you walk our hallways, you might hear Ms. Campbell singing a lesson, children cheering in Coach Rafa’s P.E. class, or students saying “Hola!” to Senora Henager. In the middle of all that fun is a lot of learning—learning how to think creatively, learning the value of self-expression, and learning about God’s big love.
