LOWER SCHOOL

Student Programming Curriculum

Third year of Student Diversity Board ("SDBoard") where fourth grade students led the way in promoting a community of belonging in the Lower School while also developing a school-wide initiative to support their efforts. This year, LS SDBoard instituted “DEIB Word of the Month,” a monthly presentation of a DEIB word that includes images, skits, videos, songs, and Q&A.

Students are nurtured in a globally-minded environment and educated to an understanding of and deep respect for diversity. The Early Childhood program engaged in a developmentally-appropriate DEIB curriculum focused on the topic of “Kindness” which included a monthly book read, discussion, and hands-on activity. The second grade conducted their annual study of the history of the Princeton community. The third and fourth grade classroom libraries expanded to include more culturally diverse authors. All grades were introduced to various artists from around the world and historic women ' s voices in the arts and world languages.
