INTRODUCTION
Lower School
Diving deep into inquiry is the cornerstone of the University Liggett Lower School. Class time balances the freedom of engaged curiosity and inventiveness within the thoughtful sequence of our curriculum. Developing literacy, numeracy, and research skills allows students to learn independently and collaboratively while they pursue projects that harness their interests and critical thinking skills to bring big ideas to life. Project Work, which builds upon the Reggio Emilia philosophy of our Early Childhood program, builds context and connection between our students and the questions they develop when exposed to new information. For example, collaboration happens often between classroom academics and art class, making for a more meaningful experience for the student. This same level of integration between “knowing” and “doing” is intentional in other Lower School academic focus areas, such as music, physical education and library.
In the Lower School, we foster student interest and build it into our curriculum.
