Academics
Lower School
Trevor’s Lower School program empowers students to develop skills, knowledge, and learning strategies for their entire education. Young people build strong academic foundations while they discover their interests and identities as lifelong learners.
Students pursue academic excellence in a robust and well-rounded program that includes reading, writing, language arts (spelling, handwriting, grammar), mathematics, science, social studies, world language, technology and computer science, library, art, music, dance, and physical education. Skilled teachers and inquiry-based learning methodologies further enliven the curriculum, helping to advance each child’s ability to think analytically and creatively. In the process, students’ natural curiosity is continuously fulfilled and expanded—thus inspiring a joy for learning.
The curriculum is dynamic, developmentally appropriate, and includes many opportunities for inquiry-driven and hands-on experiences. With expert head teachers leading every classroom and associate teachers in Threes through 2nd grade, students are supported in a classroom that they know is a safe place. This encourages students to take intellectual risks and to explore new areas of study.

School should be a safe place, where students are happy and eager to come each day—because real learning happens when children feel good about themselves and when expectations are clear.
Welcome to the Lower School
Trevor's Lower School curriculum and program have been thoughtfully designed so that students can work both independently and collaboratively to explore new concepts and master skills. Our students delve deeply into subject matter—and, because of the high level of collaboration, they also develop strong social skills—learning to lead, to listen, and to confer. At Trevor, we understand that students come to school with inherent strengths which we seek to develop; we also encourage them to grow in new areas by setting goals and creating strategies to meet them.
School should be a safe place, where students are happy and eager to come each day—because real learning happens when children feel good about themselves and when expectations are clear. Our students learn to take positive risks and grow from their failures—and have fun while doing so.
I love working in a school where each child is known by his or her teachers, both as an academic student and also as a social being; where students are challenged to go beyond that which they think they’re capable; and where students’ hearts and minds are equally nurtured.
