Lowell School
Lowell School is a progressive co-ed pre-K through 8th-grade school in Washington, DC. We equip children to think critically, engage purposefully, and live authentically by holding true to our values of respect for children, social justice and equity, partnership with families, purposeful academic engagement, and social-emotional competency.
Lowell’s Pre-Primary School celebrates children as learners, nurtures their natural curiosity, and supports their social-emotional growth, all in preparation for Kindergarten. Our hands-on project-based program embraces an emergent curriculum and a play-based, child-centered approach. Teachers listen to students’ interests and guide lessons to engage them in learning while achieving developmental milestones. Each day is designed to encourage students to be active participants in their learning.
