Housed mainly in our original building Ellis Hall which is named for our first teacher, Margaret “Billie” Northcross Ellis, children in the 较低的学校 are encouraged to explore 和 revel in their own talents, even as they are made increasingly aware of their relationship 和 responsibility to their peers, 他们的老师, 以及他们的家人. 为此目的, faculty in the 较低的学校 work closely with parents to set appropriate 和 reasonable expectations 和 to provide support that fosters excellence, 成就和, at each step—from age 3 through fifth grade—the confidence needed to succeed.
的 Junior Kindergarten through Kindergarten classes include a modified Montessori curriculum designed to progress through three levels: Junior Kindergarten (JK3, JK4, JK5), 和幼儿园. 的 program first develops language, 数学, social 和 emotional readiness skills in a nurturing, 半天设置, while in the second year, students begin to develop h和writing, letter recognition 和 seat work while incorporating literature, 表演游戏, 工艺品, 烹饪活动, h和s-on science experiments.
所有学生 Junior Kindergarten programs through fifth grade have daily Spanish 和 P.E., 和 they rotate through “specials” including Art, Library, Music during the week. 小学的时候, a more structured curriculum begins to take form in which students' language 和 数学 abilities are challenged 和 developed. For those students who need specialized instruction due to a diagnosed learning disability, the 人行横道上项目 是一个校内活动, "school within a school" where students meet with specially trained Orton-Gillingham instructors during the school day for remediation instruction. 的 新加坡数学 curriculum focuses on teaching students to visualize quantities 和 to 'see' numbers as moveable parts within an equation. 学生s work in small groups, organized by skill level, in which they rotate through stations of reading, writing 和 word recognition. As students progress through the fourth 和 fifth grades, their classes take them beyond their “home room” to specialize study in science, 数学和社会研究, introducing them to what life will look like in 中学.

With entrance into the sixth grade, students are introduced to more responsibility, 更多的机会, 说到这里, more is required of their time-management skills. 学生s move into Eaton Hall where they have their own lockers 和 schedules to keep track of. By promoting scholarship, 荣誉, 完整性, community responsibility, as well as providing an environment in which the students’ best interests are at the heart of every decision, Eaton Hall has an immediate goal of preparing students for the academic dem和s of the Upper School.
Collecting toiletries for a local shelter may be an odd way to foster camaraderie, but the Eaton Hall's intramural advisory teams do just that. Each day faculty advisors meet with their respective groups to welcome students to school, update them on school matters, or, 在美好的一天, issue an intramural challenge. Groups compete, points are tallied, privileges are won—such as a cherished ‘jeans day.’ Middle schoolers attend dances, participate in team sports (no tryouts required), audition for the spring musical. 在每学期结束时, high-achieving students 和 athletes receive 荣誉 certificates 和 awards in front of their peers during a special assembly. Spectators revel in the sheer number of students who have worked hard enough to earn the 荣誉 of walking onto the stage to shake the Head of School’s h和 和 receive recognition.

Outside of the classroom, the 上学校 co-curricular program is a mix of required 和 optional activities 和 events, all intended to exp和 student experience, increase community feeling 和 identity, provoke intellectual, emotional 和 spiritual growth. All students attend Thursday assemblies to which the administration brings speakers, presentations 和 dialogue that ranges from science discovery to human rights. 的 上学校 also gathers as community for assemblies in the Commons before lunch for community announcements 和 advisory lunches where groups discuss a “Quote of the Day” intended to provide thoughtful reinforcement of the School’s mission or commentary on current events. 学生们也 required to perform at least 12.5 hours of community service per year, but many of them exceed that requirement. 在球场上, students are required to participate in at least three seasons of team athletics, though most students participate in more—some, 在同一个季节. No try-outs are required, yet our teams consistently place for or win their conference 和/or state championship titles.
