Lower School Academics
Teachers and staff at our Lower School are doing important foundational work to develop young students. Not only are they helping them become engaged learners, but they also help students appreciate their uniqueness while navigating the importance of community and belonging and pour into them biblical truths that will continue to deepen and mature over time.
Engaging, Evolving Curriculum To Inspire Young Minds
Our Lower School students learn in a nurturing community where they are taught a 10-part curriculum that evolves as they grow. Here, we will get our hands dirty, utilize the latest technology, and encourage independent thinking and doing. It’s our framework for laying a strong spiritual foundation and building intellectual muscle.
Visual & Performing Arts
Tapping Into Our Artistic Instincts
The art of making is at the core of Christian faith, as Jesus was a builder and a maker. We embrace hands-on making through the visual arts and making music through instruments and vocals as an important part of youthful self-expression and glorifying our heavenly Father, the original maker, and artist.
Learning opportunities
This six-year stretch of schooling presents more pre-planned opportunities than at any other time at WC. Collectively, these opportunities involve experiential learning that helps build knowledge, shape character, and forge meaningful friendships—all in preparation for what’s next in the Upper School.
Experiential Trips
Students will get to experience a mother/daughter or father/son trip to Marmon Valley and the Over & Out campout in addition to field trips and other school travel opportunities.
Clubs & Orgs
First through sixth graders explore shared interests and build community through clubs and organizations like Friendship Girls, Connection Groups, Speech Meet, and Let Me Run.
Service & Discipleship
Lower School students participate in chapel and a slate of service projects. Unique, grade-based experiences also emerge, including a Seder Feast (third graders) and Space Camp Study Tour (sixth graders).
Youth Athletics
Rising As Young Warriors
As our students progress through the Lower School, they have more opportunities to become involved in athletics. In addition to our youth football and basketball programs, youth baseball and COBA basketball are also options.
Our flag football program spans all Lower School grades with tackle football available in fifth and sixth grade. Also in sixth grade, young boys and girls can join Let Me Run, to train and compete in a 5k run.
Summer camps continue to provide opportunities for young, aspiring athletes to test and improve their skills, try a new sport, and create new experiences with new and old friends alike.
