Founded in 1965, Lowell School is a co-ed progressive school serving students from 2.5 years old through 8th grade. Our beautiful and serene 8.5-acre campus serves as the backdrop for a community where all are welcome. Lowell is where progressive education prepares students for high school and challenges them to hold themselves and others to the highest ambitions and ideals throughout life. Learning is active, inquiry is expected, growth is real, progress is measured, and expectations are high. Always. At every stage of development, our students are encouraged to explore the highest levels of subject matter as they learn through an inquiry-based, hands-on, and meaningful curriculum. When they graduate, our students enter high school as intelligent, community-driven citizens, ready to improve the future for everyone. We're here for the challenge, here for the progress, here for the expertise, here for the ambitions. Lowell is here for it all.
