Lower School
In Haverford's Lower School, a pre-kindergarten-fifth grade elementary school, your family will be part of a community that strives each and every day to understand your son’s abilities, strengths, and areas of development.
Our best for boys approach to learning, including sensory-rich lessons, open classroom spaces, and twice-daily recesses, celebrates boys’ innate need for movement and activity, resulting in more focused and engaged learning. Through an emphasis on reading and writing, expressive language, fine motor development, and physical, social, and emotional growth, a Haverford boy becomes his best self.
