Lower School
Roycemore's Lower School program starts at age 3 and serves grades Pre-Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. In Lower School, students are challenged academically through differentiated instruction. Differentiation addresses the individual needs of students, not by creating personal lesson plans, but by adjusting the lesson to challenge each child on his or her own level. Enrichment, as well as extra support, is provided.
The Lower School offers a strong, diverse curriculum with many hands-on activities and educational field trips. Art, music, French language instruction and physical education classes, taught by specialists, enrich the curriculum.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
