Yavneh’s Lower School teems with activity. Hallways are filled to overflowing with student projects ranging from models of the Temple Mount to cell mitosis, and each brightly decorated classroom door offers an irresistible welcome. This is a place where children learn how to learn – joyfully, and the learning is palpable.

Students enter the Lower School in Kindergarten, where they learn to read and are introduced to computer technology.
