Lower School Fast Track
Still wondering if your grade 1-5 student is in the right school for next year?
Join us on Tuesday, August 10, from 9:30 - 10:30 am, In-person at our Paoli campus.
Meet Lower School Director Christy Zawadzkas and Director of Teaching and Learning Megan Fairchild, ICALP (Instructor of Certified Academic Language Practitioners) who will introduce you to the lower school program, in particular our proprietary Orton-Gillingham based approach to reading and writing and how that approach translates across the lower school curriculum. Then tour the school with Assistant Admissions Director/Director of Financial Aid Kavitha Patel.
While parents/guardians are learning about the school, children will be engaging in fun word and math games and an arts and crafts project with our lower school teachers.
