Lower School

Bolles lower school students play, learn and grow on two beautiful campuses. The Whitehurst Campus, adjacent to the Upper School San Jose Campus, is located on a high bluff overlooking the St. Johns River. The lush Ponte Vedra Beach Campus is just minutes from the ocean and adjacent to the PGA Tour's Global Headquarters and the famed TPC Sawgrass golf resort. Both campuses provided a strong foundation with a high-caliber curriculum, age-appropriate play and physical activity, expression through the arts, multicultural learning and opportunities for community service.
