Fostering Strong Academic Roots
Laying the foundation for a lifelong love for learning that opens doors and allows our students to pursue their passions, whatever they may be -- that's the power of the Out-of-Door Lower School curriculum.
Educating the whole child and enabling students to be their best selves is a critical component of the ODA experience. When combined with academic excellence and age-appropriate challenges and support, the sky's the limit.
At our Lower Schools, children develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, which are essential for future academic success. It's not just about learning facts; it's about nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and creating a love for learning that will guide them through the complexities of higher education and life. Strong early academics set the stage for bright futures. Enrichment activities stimulate higher-level thinking and promote problem-solving.
Our teachers support differentiated learning in our Lower School classrooms. This allows students to travel at the best pace for their learning style while challenging them to continually reach for what's next. Our educators bring compassion, joy, and deep expertise to everyday classroom experiences, creating a safe place for students to take risks and strive for excellence.
Hands-on activities open young minds, sparking curiosity and inspiring questions. From raising butterflies to composting our gardens, students are encouraged to learn through a balance of play and a variety of age-appropriate classroom and outdoor activities.
