Lower School
Courage
The Saint Paul’s Lower School Experience builds COURAGEOUS students by helping each student DISCOVER their identity as a learner, as a community member, and as an individual.
Teaching children to build confidence and courage is at the heart of our mission in the Lower School Program. Everything we do is designed for children to learn how to turn mistakes into opportunities, how to advocate for compassion, how to communicate powerfully, and how to take courageous risks. Our student teacher ratio in first through third grade is 1:14.
Passionate teachers in a safe environment
A safe, nurturing environment with passionate teachers and a solid support system. Our students in lower school receive encouragement every step of the way to become enthusiastic learners. The secret sauce is in our teaching staff who are driven by unrivaled passion, and are experts in their field.
Our small class sizes allow the teachers to provide individualized attention to every learner. Our core curriculum, along with our signature programs and waterfront campus with state-of-the-art facilities make Saint Paul's the obvious choice.
