Lowell is a co-ed independent school educating 300 students from age three through eighth grade. Learning at Lowell is active, hands-on, and experiential, and all facets of the curriculum engage students in the rigors of critical thinking and creative problem solving. A strong social curriculum supports the academic curriculum, and students learn how to communicate, collaborate, and lead with respect and empathy for others. Lowell provides young people with the learning and life skills they need to thrive not only in challenging high school programs but also in our 21st century global world.
