Jr. Kindergarten at US

University School Lower School Junior Kindergarten students sit together in a circle on the carpet during Homeroom.

In this section

Our junior kindergarten curriculum focuses on activities that encourage the development of early cognitive language and math skills, along with science, art, music, physical education, and outdoor play.

Although no two days are exactly the same, there is a routine each day that builds stability and comfort, and each day is always a good balance of high-energy movement and learning. 

Our faculty encourage these youngest boys to develop the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to enter kindergarten the following year with self-confidence and independence.
