Lower School

A Lower School With a Higher Purpose

The early years of a child’s education are critical to establishing a strong foundation on which all other learning is built. That is why Norfolk Collegiate's lower school offers the perfect blend of comfort and challenge for students in pre-Kindergarten 3 through Grade 5.

How Do We Do This?
Through purposeful play and innovative activities

The End Result Is
Our students question, explore, think and solve problems while having a lot of fun!

We Maximize Each Child's Potential
We understand every child learns differently, and success comes in many forms as your child grows and develops. So we work hard to unlock the full potential in each student. We lay the foundation for academic success by:

Maximizing your child's potential, curiosity and enthusiasm through our challenging student-centered programs
Teaching through age-appropriate applications
Centering instruction on each student as an individual with distinct interests, skills and varied paths to success.
Meeting them on their respective developmental levels by using multiple instructional methods, regularly assessing and adjusting skill levels or groupings, and differentiating assignments in math, reading and spelling.
Empowering students to learn in ways suited to their unique learning styles, thus deepening their skills and love of learning, while striving for a future of high achievement.

Honor, Respect and Love

We also teach students to honor, respect and love one another, while leading them to be compassionate, responsible members of the school and the greater community. We create opportunities throughout the year for our younger students to work with their peers and our middle and upper school students through learning opportunities and school events.

We focus on the whole child at Norfolk Collegiate and partner with our parents to ensure that each student is getting a great education and an even better experience.
