Whitefield Academy A Christ-Centered College Preparatory School

Lower School

Serving students in PreK through 4th grade, the Lower School at Whitefield Academy partners with families to shepherd and propel the academic, spiritual, and emotional growth of your children.

In Brostrand Hall, your child will explore, grow, learn, play, worship, and serve in a school community seeking to honor Christ by pursuing excellence in all that we do. Under the leadership of Lower School Principal Ms. Maryellen Berry, passionate and experienced teachers pour into your children as they develop a passion for learning, for others ahead of self, and for the living and active Jesus.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6


Curriculum

Grounded in biblical truth, the Lower School curriculum is intentionally designed to spark curiosity and instill a love of learning. From small group work to class discussions, from guest speakers to carefully crafted, grade-level field trips, your child will learn reading, writing, math, science, and history with all five of his senses, building a foundation to become a lifelong learner.

More than just letters and numbers, music echoes down the hallway, and colorful creations cover every wall. In addition to our classroom teachers, students are supported by student success coaches and Orton Gillingham tutors. Digital stewards learn to use technology, including keyboarding, to enhance and deepen their education, and through movement and competition, your child will grow in her teamwork and athleticism.

After School Programs

When the school day is over, activity in the Lower School is most certainly not! Your aspiring ballerina, athlete, chess phenom, musician, or scientist can enroll in seasonal After-School Programs to test out her next passion.

Cub Care

Looking for an after-school care program to bridge the gap between the school day and end of your work day? Many Whitefield students play with friends, enjoy a snack, work on themed craft projects, or complete homework in our after-school care program, Cub Care.

Offering flexible coverage until 6 p.m., students can drop in, enroll annually, or enroll on a semester basis.
