Lower School
Grades 1–5
At Robert F. Munroe Day School, our Lower School provides a strong academic foundation while nurturing confident, compassionate, and courageous learners. We believe elementary school should be a time of discovery, growth, and joyful learning—a place where every child is challenged to reach their full potential while being known, valued, and supported every step of the way.
Through research-based instruction, data-driven teaching, and small class sizes, students receive personalized support that encourages academic achievement, character development, and a lifelong love of learning.
As students build strong skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies, they also develop the confidence to think critically, collaborate with others, solve problems, and become compassionate leaders.

Academic achievement is at the heart of the Lower School experience. Using nationally recognized assessments, ongoing progress monitoring, and research-based instructional practices, our teachers personalize instruction to help every student grow.
