Lower School
As children enter the elementary school, they are guided by a Class Teacher who carries the class from 1st through 8th grade. Students and teachers develop a deep and enduring relationship through the shared experience of the main lesson curriculum, where one subject is taught for the first two hours of each day in blocks of three or four weeks. Textbooks are not used to introduce subjects since the children make their own books, full of illustrations, from subjects presented by the class teacher.
