““Being at CSS is a joy and privilege. We dissected sheep brains in 4th grade last year, and one of my students said "I'm going to tell my future kids about this."Moments like this is why teaching at CSS matters.””Renee Lane, Faculty Since 2025
Lower School (K-5th)
At The Colorado Springs School, Lower School students are inspired to wonder, explore, and discover their unique strengths. Through an engaging, hands-on curriculum and meaningful experiential learning, students build strong foundations in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and history while discovering new passions through the arts, music, Spanish, physical education, and more. With opportunities to collaborate, think creatively, and make connections across subjects, students develop the curiosity, confidence, resilience, and independence they need to thrive in a dynamic world.
