Welcome to The Baldwin School Lower School! We are thrilled to introduce you to our vibrant, nurturing environment where your child’s journey of academic and self-discovery begins.

At Baldwin, our Lower School is more than a place of learning; it is a dynamic community where curiosity is ignited, creativity is fostered and every girl's unique potential is celebrated. From the moment your child steps through our doors, she will be welcomed into a warm and inclusive atmosphere that encourages exploration and growth, making you and your child feel like an integral part of our community.

From Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5, we believe learning should be both challenging and joyful. Our dedicated faculty members create classroom environments where girls are encouraged to ask questions, solve problems and collaborate with their peers. Our interdisciplinary approach ensures that students are not just absorbing information but actively applying their knowledge in meaningful ways. Whether they are designing new playground equipment, exploring historical events through storytelling or investigating scientific phenomena, our students develop a rich and connected understanding of the world around them, all while experiencing the joy of learning.

In the Lower School, we understand that each stage of a child’s development presents unique opportunities and challenges. We meet these developmental needs with creativity and care, supporting students’ growing self-awareness and interpersonal skills. Whether through daily morning meetings, weekly school counseling lessons or informal lunchtime and recess conversations, our teachers are committed to creating an environment where each child feels valued and empowered. Faculty work closely with students to build confidence and resilience, guiding them through challenges and celebrating their individual and collective strengths.

We invite you to visit our campus to see firsthand the bustling and supportive environment that defines our Lower School. Meet our passionate educators, interact with our enthusiastic students and experience the warmth and excitement that characterizes the Baldwin community!

Warmest regards,

Quenby Frimet
Director of Lower School
