Overview
Founded in 1927, we are a K-8 progressive school with around 230 students, a vibrant, engaged community and a deep commitment to both equity and diversity.
We believe learning is empowerment and we intentionally develop in our students an authentic desire to learn, to frame questions, to seek answers, to lead, to explore, and to create.
Sheridan students graduate more than prepared for the complexities of the future -- they are leaders prepared to make meaningful change.
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.
