Walking through the hall of Lower School, it is undeniable that students at EPS are engaged, curious, and happy learners. The Lower School is where our younger students begin to build their foundation of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our first through fourth grade classes are self-contained, having one teacher for their core subjects (Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies) and specials teachers for enrichment. In the Lower School, students learn to appreciate and celebrate differences in cultures and ethnicities and at a young age begin to develop a global perspective.
