Elementary School

Inspiring a Love for Learning in Every Student

At Evergreen Country Day, our Elementary School is a dynamic environment where students cultivate creativity, curiosity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. Through project-based activities and real-world learning, students thrive under the guidance of nurturing and experienced teachers who set high expectations while fostering a supportive community.

Our intentionally small class sizes allow us to tailor learning to each student, identifying their unique strengths and styles early on. This personalized approach ensures that every child feels seen, supported, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

Elementary students also explore their passions in what we call “Specials,” weekly classes taught by subject-matter experts in art, music, science, computer science, physical education, and Spanish. These enriching experiences complement our robust character education program, helping students build academic skills while developing empathy, teamwork, and resilience.

ECDS Elementary Traditions

Every student has opportunities to develop confidence in public speaking. Whether leading a class presentation, performing in front of peers, or addressing the entire school, students build communication skills and poise that will serve them for a lifetime.

Outdoor education is another hallmark of our Elementary program. Students embark on hut trips and overnight camping adventures (without parents), where they learn to embrace challenges, develop grit, and build resilience while deepening their connection to nature and each other.

At Evergreen Country Day School, we believe in inspiring students to thrive—and every day, we are equally inspired by the curiosity, joy, and potential our students bring to our classrooms.
