Life in Ruxton's Lower School

From Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, including Pre-First, Lower School students achieve strong personal and academic growth as the result of small classes, expertly trained teachers attuned to how each student learns best, and the emphasis we place on directly modeling study skills and core human values.

In addition to core curriculum, special classes begin in Kindergarten and include:

  • Art
  • Spanish
  • Music
  • Physical Education
  • Science
  • Media Center
  • Computers

At RCS traditional teaching techniques and strategies are supported and enhanced by multi-sensory methods.  Students are active participants in the learning process, often sharing what they have learned in presentations, three-dimensional projects, and dramatic performances.  Small class sizes allow for more personal interaction between the student and the teacher affording enrichment opportunities, as well as the ability to respond to the individual learning styles found in all children.
