Lower School

Welcome to Presidio Hill School's Lower School, where caring and talented teachers guide students on an exciting journey of discovery. 

As at all grade levels, the Lower School program is designed to engage students in their own learning. Classroom activities are fun and collaborative and encourage each student's natural curiosity. A project-based curriculum nurtures a love of learning in students and emphasizes the value of exploration and discovery.

Teachers encourage students to explore subjects that interest them. Curriculum is developed around those interests and designed to allow students to build and master skills appropriate for their developmental level and in keeping with established benchmarks. The pages in this part of the website provide examples of featured projects taking place at each grade level, projects that exemplify the hands-on, integrated curriculum found at Presidio Hill.

The Lower School is comprised of children in Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through fifth grade. There is one section per grade. Transitional Kindergarten enrolls up to 12 students; Kindergarten expands to 20 students with two teachers. Grades 1–5 enroll between 16–18 students per grade.
