At Rolling Hills Country Day School we encourage curiosity, acknowledge responsibility, support creative ideas, and appreciate different points of view. We help our students acquire new skills and cultivate existing ones. Our dedication to our students shines in the reflections of their intellectual, moral, physical, and social achievements. In our classrooms, on our fields, and across our stage, we nurture the art of expression. Through trust and respect, our students look within themselves and to their teachers for motivation and to each other for inspiration. As our students develop their skills and enhance their natural abilities using the tools we provide, they come ever closer to achieving, and often surpassing their goals. The Lower School begins at 8:00 am. Kindergarten dismisses at 2:30 pm, and Grades One, Two, and Three conclude at 2:45 pm. Grade Four and Five end at 3:00 pm. Small classes, coupled with a dynamic faculty, ensure that each child will work towards fulfilling his/her individual goals. The Goals of the Lower School are: •
