  • Small group instruction helps limit distraction and provides more individualized instruction
  • Typing skills are introduced early on
  • Various field trips throughout the year
  • Our dedicated STEM Director encourages an interdisciplinary approach through lessons, projects, Robotics Club, and our MakerSpace
  • Interactive lessons keep little hands busy, including taking learning outdoors Various field trips throughout the year complement the curriculum and help learning come to life
  • Room transformations turn classrooms into exciting learning spaces 
  • Lower school students are given Brain Breaks throughout the day and opportunities for movement through recess and PE

Student-centered work continues outside the classroom. Lower school is the time when our students use their innate curiosity to discover and explore both the world around them and their God-given talents and interests. 

Athletics  -Go Falcons! Lower school students are encouraged to participate in Youth Development Sports and various after-school athletic opportunities.

Fine Arts   -In addition to studying art and music as part of our curriculum, students can perform in our lower school play, learn to play an instrument (private music lessons are available), or showcase their work in our annual campus celebration of Fine Arts.

Spiritual Life  -Our comprehensive lower school Bible curriculum, Deep Roots, shows students how to apply their Christian values to everyday activities and decisions. Weekly chapel provides meaningful worship. As students progress through Ben Lippen, they have the opportunity to pursue discipleship opportunities and join our vibrant Young Life chapter. 

After-School Clubs  -At Ben Lippen, your child has the chance to unlock new interests through various after-school clubs and activities, such as culinary kids, Run Hard, Soccer Shots, Public Speaking, Taekwondo, Choir, Flag Football, Cheer, Basketball, Golf, Dance, Robotics, Tumbling, Spirit Club and Craft Club.
