In Lower School, students build on the strong foundation laid in the early years, growing into confident, capable learners ready to take on greater academic challenges. The curriculum is designed to stretch their thinking and inspire a lifelong love of learning.
Core subjects come to life through engaging, hands-on projects that reinforce key academic skills. Students apply their knowledge to real-world tasks, making meaningful connections across subjects while deepening their understanding of all subject areas.
As students grow academically, they also develop essential social-emotional skills. Lower School students learn how to collaborate and lead, how to listen and contribute respectfully, and how to navigate challenges with perseverance and resilience. Strong relationships with teachers and peers foster a sense of belonging, accountability, and pride in their accomplishments.
Worcester Prep’s Lower School experience prepares students not just for the next grade, but for a future of academic excellence and personal growth. Students emerge as engaged thinkers, kind friends, and confident members of their school community.
"It can be tempting to wait until your children are a little older to invest in a Worcester Prep education, but we've seen first-hand what a strong foundation the Worcester Pre-K and Lower School establish."
