Happy Pride Month! 🐾💚

There’s nothing quite like the energy on campus when music, food, and family come together. Our Pre-Primary students hosted a fantastic Fiesta, and they completely stole the show!

Our littlest learners didn't just attend the party, they were the entertainment. Watching them confidently play their instruments and share their music was definitely the best part of the day.

Thank you so much to all the families who joined us and made the day so special. We love our Lowell community!

Our Pre-Primary students have spent the year learning all kinds of things, but Spanish time with Sara is clearly a fan favorite! Who wouldn't like hanging out with their friends and singing a cool song? These students are more than ready for the challenge of Kindergarten!

¡Aprender es muy divertido!

We were thrilled to welcome three Lowell alumni from the Class of 2022, Leo, Evie, and Ashli, back to campus recently to spend time with and mentor our current students.

Now graduating from the Edmund Burke School, these three are heading off to do amazing things this fall, and they stopped by to share how their Lowell journey set them up for success:

Evie Piller (Left) is heading to American University for Business Entrepreneurship with a minor in Physics & Chemistry!. Evie returned to Lowell for her senior project. "In middle school, Lowell helped me express confidence and encouraged me to work with my interests... The teachers have had the greatest impact on me."

Leo Gehman (Middle) is heading to Boston University to study Ecology. For Leo, Lowell was a place to try everything from sports to the student newspaper. "Lowell has always felt like a place I can go back to and be welcomed with open arms, no matter where I am in life."

Ashli Johnson (Right) is heading to Drexel University’s 2+4 Architecture program. Having attended Lowell from 1st–8th grade, Ashli shared, "Lowell taught me a lot about independence and empathy... giving me a space where I could grow and learn who I was."

Thank you, Leo, Evie, and Ashli, for giving back to our community. We are so proud of you and can't wait to see what you accomplish next!

We have some exciting news! Please join us in giving a huge Lowell welcome to Dr. Joseph Valentine-White, our new Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB).

Joe comes to us from the Gilman School in Baltimore, bringing a fantastic background as an educator, mentor, and school leader. He is known for his deep empathy, passion, and unique ability to listen closely to families and turn those conversations into real, positive change.

We are so lucky to have his leadership and vision joining our community. Welcome to Lowell, Joe!

Coachella, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo ... they've got nothing on Lowellapalooza! 💚 The Leopards showed up and showed out today at this ticket-of-the-year event. 🎫 There was something for everyone with a string ensemble, hits from the 80s and 90s, and a few Spotify chart-toppers echoing out across the field. 🎶 What a great way to celebrate our amazing after-school music program. Rock on! 🧑‍🎤

Making memories that go beyond the classroom. A look back at our 4th Grade adventure to Echo Hill!

There is something magical about watching students step out of their comfort zones, whether they were navigating team-building challenges, identifying local wildlife, or simply learning how to work together in a brand new environment.

They might be getting ready to leave on their capstone trip tomorrow, but that didn't stop our 6th-grade track stars from squeezing in one last meet. Look at those Leopards run!

Star Certificate Update! Our Pre-Primary students were so proud to display their Sparkling Loved Star in the main lobby of the Lowell campus today. A true team effort by our littlest learners!
