Lower School (K5–3rd Grade)

Opening January 2027 — classical education for kindergarten through 3rd grade

About the Program

Our Lower School program serves kindergarten through 3rd grade with a classical curriculum designed to cultivate wisdom, virtue, and a love of learning. These are the grammar-stage years — when children naturally absorb language, facts, and patterns with ease — and we meet them there with great books, nature study, and practical life skills.

  • Grades served: Kindergarten (K5) through 3rd grade
  • School days: Monday through Thursday on campus · Friday is an asynchronous home economics day
  • Hands-on activities: Cooking and gardening, building practical life skills alongside academic studies
  • School calendar: Follows Greenville County School calendar plus an extra week off for winter break
  • Field trips: Scheduled throughout the year and charged separately
