Lower School

What Sets Walsingham Apart

Young children thrive when given time each day to connect with friends and engage in outdoor play using age-appropriate toys and equipment. That’s why every Lower School student at Walsingham enjoys daily recess.

Our campus features three dedicated playgrounds, each designed to support active play and exploration. These spaces include jungle gyms, swing sets, a basketball court, a soccer field, and shaded wooded areas—providing a variety of options for movement, creativity, and fun.

Purposeful Education

Walsingham employs innovative approaches to deliver a curriculum aligned with national standards, giving teachers the flexibility to use research-based strategies that support student mastery through a variety of learning methods.

Our dynamic and supportive learning environment emphasizes individual attention, ensuring each child feels seen, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Raising Children To Be Good Citizens

Instruction at Walsingham Academy is based on the tenants of a Mercy Education, with faith-based learning in classrooms of every grade level.

We instruct students on how they can best apply their talents and skills to serve those in need, meeting in multi-age Peacemakers groups and coming together as a community to celebrate Advent, Christmas, and Easter.

Our Community

It is important for young people to learn how to interact with one another to build successful and happy relationships.

Our community of inclusion fosters social growth through programs that connect students of all grade levels and interests so that each child feels known and appreciated for who they are.

After School Opportunities

Students in Grades 3-7 have the opportunity to join clubs such as coding, band, art, Chinese culture, chess, cooking, math, yearbook, STEM, jewelry making, forensics, the Green Team, after-school sports, and more.

Each club meets for one of three different sessions during the year, with each session lasting eight weeks, giving students the chance to explore different activities and expand their horizons even after the bell rings.
