Our K-4 elementary school program considers the academic needs of each child while developing confidence, independent thinking, listening skills, public speaking, group work, and strong work habits. Our program deliberately strives to shape the whole child while building the core skills needed for the future.
Through small classes, students foster skills to deploy across the curriculum. We read and write for purpose. We teach for mastery in our math program: computational skills, number concepts and problem-solving. Our students successfully launch into higher level math in Middle School. The Lower/Elementary School at St. Martin’s Episcopal School provides a strong academic foundation for students as they become engaged, inquisitive, and independent learners.
