Our Lower School consists of the grades Pre-K3 - 5th.
The lower school classrooms at Boca Prep are bright, stimulating, child-centered environments with wall displays showcasing student work. Class sizes are small, enabling the teachers to meet student needs on an individual basis.
Students use the Zaner-Bloser Voices program for reading through fourth grade, Scott Foresman math, and Harcourt publications for Science and Social Studies. Technology is incorporated in the classroom through the us of Smartboards, computer programs, and iPods.
Students receive instruction in PE, Music, Technology, Spanish, Values and Library in addition to the core curriculum.
Teachers are passionate about their work and demonstrate a genuine concern for academic development and emotional well being. Our teachers have fully embraced the PYP philosophy on inquiry-based learning and it is evident through the students contributions, both written and oral. Students and teachers are well versed in PYP terminology and many classroom activities reflect open-ended , student-led instruction.
