About the Lower SchoolThe Lower School, for children from Beginners (pre-Kindergarten) through Grade 6, combines building-block fundamentals with an emphasis on creativity and exploration. Students find challenge and support in a three-acre, nine-building campus “village” full of kid energy, a short walk from Harvard Square.

Lower School AdmissionThere is no single BB&N "type," and we think that's one of our strengths. Students come here with a wide range of talents and interests, from neighborhoods throughout the Greater Boston area, and from a diverse range of racial, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. What they have in common is a genuine curiosity about the world around them and an eagerness to learn.
