LOWER SCHOOL
(Pre-First through Fourth Grade)
 The All Saints Episcopal School's Lower School places a high priority on the relationship between the teacher and the student. Teachers aim to develop the individual potential of students with varying aptitudes and interests. Groupings are flexible and subject to change. Continual assessment is a feature of all programs. The school day is structured not according to stationary teacher assignments but according to faculty expertise. The school takes a team approach to evaluation and discipline. The exposure to many teachers helps students with differing learning styles and personalities to function better. Team teachers do not necessarily share responsibility for individual programs, yet there is flexibility and overlap.
The Lower School Division Head oversees the daily affairs of pre-first through fourth grade, working closely with teachers, students, and parents in each grade level. Academic and discipline problems are handled in the first instance by the teacher or grade level team. If persistent, such problems are referred to the Division Head. If deemed of particular importance, the problem is referred to the Dean of Students for appropriate action. Parents with questions, or suggestions for Lower School should contact the Division Head.
