Igniting a Love of Learning
When you walk into Lake Highland’s Lower School classrooms, you will witness children discovering new concepts, collaborating, and problem-solving with hands-on activities. Alongside igniting a love of learning, we embrace and celebrate each student’s unique talents, interests, and abilities by fostering the innovative spirit of every child.
Core Curriculum
Enriching Education
In addition to the core curriculum, Lake Highland provides engaging and enriching co-curricular experiences to broaden creativity and spark interest in various subjects. Each student's developing interests are fostered by our wide range of Lower School enrichment classes, including:
Active Outdoor Learning
Opportunities to learn and grow extend from classrooms to the great outdoors. PreK and kindergarten classrooms open into a 7,100-square-foot sensory courtyard, where students build fine and gross motor skills, imagination, and friendships.
Adjacent to the Lower School building stands a thriving community garden named Mr. Brian's Garden. Established in 2010 in memory of Brian McConnaughey, an LHP maintenance technician, the garden also features an outdoor classroom. Through a complete sensory experience of students seeing, touching, listening, smelling, and even tasting, the ultimate goal of the community garden is to raise children with a love of the outdoors and ecosystems.
Responsive Classroom
We believe that how children learn is as important as what they learn because academic success is inextricably connected to building social-emotional competencies. By embracing the Responsive Classroom approach, we prioritize our students’ social, emotional, and academic growth within LHP’s safe and supportive school community. Teacher language, logical consequences, established routines, and age-appropriate choices foster student autonomy and independence.
School is awesome! LHP is so fun because you get to learn, and everyone is kind. I love my LHP friends so much! Ishi
