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.


Multi-Dimensional Curriculum

Thrive. Explore. Achieve.

The curriculum for our youngest learners is designed to ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. Grounded in research-driven educational practices, our approach balances foundational skills with rich, inquiry-based learning experiences that nurture both intellectual and social-emotional growth. 

Lower School Leadership

The foundation of our students' educational journeys begins here. As Lower School educators, we are committed to nurturing a supportive environment where every child feels empowered to explore, take risks, and ignite their love for learning.
