PROGRAMS
A child’s first experience of school can shape their relationship to learning for the rest of their life. Early Childhood at Grace, spanning junior kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade, is designed to make that experience joyful, academically ambitious, and deeply supportive.
Learning at Grace is built on the belief that academic rigor, ethical development, and joy are interdependent pursuits, and that students who feel connected, curious, and confident become not just stronger learners, but better people.
Our youngest students build foundational skills in literacy, mathematics, science, and the arts—taught by faculty who approach each child as an individual, attentive to their particular strengths and needs.
Literacy rooted in the science of reading
Building phonemic awareness, rich content knowledge, and a command of vocabulary to become curious readers, expressive writers, and lifelong lovers of story.

Mathematics built around a love of numbers
Through numeracy, place value, and collaborative problem-solving, students develop a positive relationship with math early, beginning to see themselves as mathematicians from the start.

Science that sparks curiosity
Rooftop greenhouses, blue whale investigations, and experiments in light refraction—Grace’s youngest scientists never stop examining the world around them.
Read MoreChoice time, outdoor play, and structured, collaborative games help children develop the social and ethical foundations they carry with them for life: how to listen, how to disagree, how to cooperate, how to repair, and how to show up for others.
The arts, physical education, and library are not extracurriculars at Grace. They are where children discover new languages for thinking, making, and expressing themselves.
Creative expression from day one. Clay, paint, collage, and other media are tools through which students develop the habit of seeing the world as something to be made and remade.
Music and dance as joy and self-expression. Students build confidence and skill through an ever-widening range of traditions, techniques, and performances.
Our student support philosophy is proactive and embedded into how we treat every child, every day. A dedicated team comprising a literacy specialist, learning specialist, and counselor works alongside classroom teachers to ensure every student has the challenge and support needed to succeed.
