The Lower School is an exciting time during which our students hone the skills and habits that form the foundation for a lifetime of learning and an appreciation for divergent ideas and perspectives.
At Lake Forest Country Day School, the Lower School curriculum allows each student the opportunity to discover their physical, creative, social, and academic strengths. Our faculty is dedicated to high academic standards and to providing the individual attention that each child needs to fulfill their potential. We see social and academic skills as inextricably linked, so we strive to create a respectful, safe atmosphere where students can explore personal interests and take responsible risks while developing academic skills and knowledge.
Small class sizes, individual attention, and differentiated instructional strategies ensure that each child has the opportunity to fulfill his or her potential.
