Lower School Overview

The Epiphany lower school creates a strong foundation for a life full of learning and seeking new experiences for students in grades K-5. Our Spanish immersion program is a hallmark of our lower school curriculum, and its benefits reach far beyond becoming fluent in a valuable second language. Students are taught the value of working together and learn important interpersonal relationship skills as well as developing the necessary skills to thrive in middle school.
