The Grandview
Preparatory School Program embraces the philosophy that learning
should be fun. Our child-centered approach recognizes the varying
developmental levels of children this age and incorporates activities
appropriate for the individual child. Children in PreK 3 and PreK
4 participate in Spanish and PE.

The Lower School
believes in the benefits of a classroom centered on a "learn
by doing" philosophy. This philosophy ensures that the student
acquire high-level skills rather than move through a fact-based
curriculum. Students explore within a small, nurturing environment
fully equipped with specially designed classrooms and a Lower School
science and math laboratory as well as a computer laboratory. Our
small class size and critical thinking focus enables students to
become active thinkers and problem solvers.
Students experience
dynamic, developmentally appropriate activities designed to challenge
and inspire. Differentiated instruction insures that each student
will progress according to his or her individual learning requirements.
Along with a spiraling curriculum and authentic assessment, running
records and traveling portfolios enable monitoring of each student's
academic progress from year to year. Additionally, grandview embraces
technology as a learning tool in the classroom. Classrooms are equipped
with student computers, projectors, Educational WEB site access,
United Streaming, SMART Boards and Renweb to enhance learning, teaching
and communication.
