Lower School and Early Learning

Welcome to
LOWER SCHOOL

In the Lower School at MPCS, educating with intention means building a love of learning from a young age. As educators, it is our joy and responsibility to model that learning is a lifelong process.

From preschool in the Murray Academy to junior kindergarten through 4th grade, our students cultivate curiosity. Individualized attention, nurturing teachers, and strong academics create the perfect opportunity for children to foster a love of learning. From STEAM and art to music and Christian education, Lower School students are challenged and supported as they grow.

Nurturing

“I have no worries as a mama when I drop them off, and so that sings to my heart every day because we're all busy. I'm busy with work, my husband's busy with work and it's quite comforting to know that they are well cared for, as well as academically they're being pushed, and so we're we're beyond pleased with the outcomes that we're getting.”
