Beauvoir The National Cathedral Continuation School vs. Lowell School

Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School, founded in 1933, is a primary school dedicated to educating a diverse student body in a caring and creative environment is an independent, co-ed school for children from pre-kindergarten through third grade, Beauvoir operates under the aegis of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, and focuses all of its resources on early childhood education.

We believe that a child`s early school years are vital to building strong conceptual skills and attitudes that drive future academic achievement and social development.

We believe that children have different learning styles and so we seek to develop the unique potential of each child.

We believe this developmental approach enables children to build self-reliance, and acquire skills to think and work creatively.

We believe in the Beauvoir Life Rules-respect, responsibility, honesty and kindness-and we emphasize character development in the classroom and throughout the school community.

We believe in diversity. We actively seek qualified children of varied economic, religious, cultural and racial backgrounds.

At Lowell, students gain the knowledge, skills, and social-emotional literacy to become members of the next generation of creative leaders and problem solvers.

Energetic and insightful teachers nurture curiosity and help children develop fundamental skills and deep, conceptual understandings through hands-on, experiential learning opportunities.

A strong social curriculum complements the academic curriculum and develops the interpersonal skills, multicultural understanding, and community engagement critical for a life of active citizenship.
