Lower School (PreK 4 – 4th Grade)

At Parish, our Lower School students have access to a variety of academic enrichment opportunities beyond the regular school day. Throughout the academic year, we provide after-school classes tailored to reading and math enthusiasts, those interested in world language enrichment, and more.

Summer Camps
Engaging & Fun!
In the summer, we are dedicated to offering diverse academic camps for every grade level, spanning from PreK 4 to 4th grade. These camps are designed to help students enhance their reading, writing, and numerical skills, while fostering enjoyment in learning. Additionally, introductory camps are available for each grade level, ensuring students enter the next school year with confidence and readiness for success.
To maintain an optimal learning environment, all our academic camps feature small class sizes, ensuring an ideal teacher-to-student ratio.
