Cultivating Potential and Fostering Independence in Lower School

Our Lower School program, designed for students from two years old through fifth grade, creates an environment where young learners thrive, both academically and personally.



Hands-On Exploration and Growth
Lower School at Davidson Day is an exciting time of curiosity and hands-on learning. Students explore a variety of subjects and experiences that challenge them academically while fostering social and emotional growth. Whether working on collaborative projects, building friendships, or discovering new creative outlets, students gain the tools and confidence they need to navigate this critical developmental stage.

Fostering Individual Strengths
Our 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio allows teachers to provide personalized attention tailored to each student’s needs. With enriching experiences in and out of the classroom, our Lower School program ensures every student exceeds their potential. From art and music to academic projects and student clubs, Davidson Day inspires creativity and supports students as they uncover their passions.

Building Leaders and Advocates
Lower School Patriots don’t just learn within the walls of their classrooms—they engage with their school community and beyond. Through teamwork, leadership opportunities, and service projects, students learn how to advocate for themselves and others. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifetime of collaboration, compassion, and civic responsibility.

A Foundation for Future Success
At Davidson Day, our Lower School isn’t just preparation for the next academic step; it’s the beginning of a journey where students grow into confident, capable learners and community members.
