Parent Survey Respondant
Our daughter is so happy and that makes us happy also. She feels safe and is coming home fulfilled with all the new learning experiences. She has excellent teachers and is getting exposed to Spanish and music which I feel are so important. PE is another highlight, as is the playground. She has enough space and time to run around and play so she is tired at the end of the day and goes to bed happy! We have been extremely pleased with the experience our daughter is having in the Lower School at Saint Edward's School.
We want to get to know you!
The Lower School at Saint Edward's is a special place, and we would love the opportunity to help you get to know us better! We are eager to learn more about your child, your family, and the type of independent school education you're seeking so that we can answer your questions and provide you with the information you need to determine if Saint Edward's Lower School is the right fit for your family.
What Makes Our Lower School Special?
At Saint Edward's School, we believe it is important to establish a relationship based on trust with our young students in order to build a strong and safe foundation that allows the children to approach their learning journey with confidence. A strong sense of trust enables them to pursue their curiosity and wonder. Problem-solving, based on the Singapore Math learning strategies, begins in Pre-Kindergarten. The teachers at all levels create age-appropriate problems and encourage the children to solve the problems either in a group setting or individually. This problem-solving method is not exclusive to math but is effective in solving social issues and academic questions across the curriculum. This approach encourages self-reliance and creates capable life-long learners.

Little Scientists
Pre-K loved getting to visit Mrs. Hudson’s classroom as a capstone to our scientist unit. Students were able to look at and learn about the animals that Mrs. Hudson has and use some tools like magnifying glasses and beakers! Thank you, Mrs. Hudson, for the super fun experience!Read More -
Fourth-Grade Students Shine at Science Fair
Read MoreAn integral part of the Lower School experience is learning how to conduct long-term projects. Over the past month, fourth-grade students explored the aerodynamics of paper airplanes by following the scientific methods. Making observations, asking questions, researching, planning and conducting experiments, and recording data are among the invaluable skill sets students engaged in as part of this process. Students also honed their presentation skills as they practiced sharing their projects with peers and various classes at the Lower School. All these efforts culminated in a Science Fair Showcase, where proud faces abounded as students presented their projects to family and friends!
