We believe that children can best acquire a rich body of knowledge and the skills needed for future learning through a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate and that builds upon itself year by year. The Mounthaven Lower School curriculum has been specifically developed to inspire a love of learning, to build self-confidence, and to foster in our students the ability and desire to contribute to their community.

The first years of a child’s academic life are crucial ones in establishing positive attitudes and dispositions toward learning. We value a young child’s natural desire to learn through creation and self-expression. We strive to build upon our students’ curiosity while instilling in them a spirit of cooperation, respect for others and for their ideas, and satisfaction in personal intellectual growth.

Classroom instruction is complemented by weekly participation in a variety of specialized subject areas.
