Lower School students embark on a journey of discovery, collaboration, exploration, and experimentation. Our small class sizes allow our faculty to forge deep bonds with each student, identifying their individual strengths and areas for continued growth. We prioritize the connection between academic achievement and social-emotional growth. This whole child approach ensures that our students thrive not only academically but also develop the essential skills and resilience needed for lifelong success. At Ensworth, we foster an environment where every child is empowered to flourish and reach their fullest potential.

The math curriculum at Ensworth emphasizes the successful development of mathematical thinkers. The curriculum, Singapore Math, uses a focused progression integrating concepts, skills, processes, and hands-on learning, all required in the problem-solving process. Lessons guide students toward developing understanding using a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach. Students develop knowledge in the areas of numbers, functions, operations, geometry & measurement, data, and statistics. 

All Lower School students take visual arts and music at each grade level. Our faculty introduce a variety of media and processes for making visual art and help students find success through creativity. Students examine influential artists toward learning a global view of art, and connect their artwork with interdisciplinary projects. Students explore fundamental music concepts, singing and listening skills, and opportunities to play instruments, culminating with an opportunity to showcase their work in a performance each semester.
