Private elementary school

Our elementary program offers a robust academic program with small class sizes, a joyful and diverse community, and a commitment to strong character values in a family-like environment.

Learning at Page is an adventure, where lessons in the STEM lab or the English classroom matter just as much as lessons on the playing field & in the art studio.

Curious minds & strong foundations

Our curriculum encourages children at each stage of their educational, emotional, and social development to discover their own talents and interests.

Nothing a student does here is considered extracurricular, so time in the library, the art studio, and the STEM lab is treated as a vital part of the school day, right alongside reading, writing, and math.

Above all, we offer a nurturing learning environment that develops lifelong learners who are engaged, knowledgeable, self-reflective, and self-directed.

What your family can expect in elementary school

Small class sizes

Small class sizes mean your child receives individual, one-on-one attention in a well-managed classroom, with plenty of flexible space to learn and engage.

Open parent communication

We encourage parents to take an active part in their child's learning, and our teachers communicate with each family in person and by email.

Instructional technology

Classrooms have interactive SMARTBoards, students have their own tablets, and there are opportunities to use 3D printers and design software.

Project-based learning

Interdisciplinary projects connect classroom concepts to the real world while students build critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills.

Educating the whole child

Every student is recognized as an important individual, and we support their emotional and social needs along with their academic curiosity.

Social-emotional learning

Social-emotional learning is a natural part of every school day, so children grow as insightful leaders with a strong moral compass.

Out of the classroom & into the world

Elementary students take what they're learning on the road with field studies, present their ideas at the Invention Convention, and bring stories to life on stage.

Our school-wide Explore Our World project grows with them, from building communities in the early grades to exploring cultures and traditions in 3rd through 5th grade.
