Lower School Curriculum
Students in pre-kindergarten through grade five receive a firm foundation in reading skills, writing, math, science, and social studies within an intimate environment which the lower school faculty is committed to offering each student. Small, homelike classrooms with 20-21 students accentuate the vital, personal relationship that develops between the teacher and each young child. Teachers encourage students to develop their own personal work ethics and to build a set of personal beliefs and sense of self on which they can rely as they progress through their teenage experiences.
Parents are offered many opportunities to be involved in students' daily educational experiences. Frequent conferences keep parents informed about their children's academic and social progress. The lower school faculty and administration believe that involved, informed parents are better able to help their children master the accelerated academic curriculum at Bolles. The curriculum is based on hands-on learning, which emphasizes activities to teach the importance of exploring and experimenting.
