Lower School

With an 800-acre campus beckoning, students experience joy in nature every day. Our campus is a vibrant and enticing classroom where students learn through play and exploration.

Students embark on stream studies in science, walk the historic areas of campus during social studies, plant pumpkin seeds when visiting Roots Farm, and twirl beneath falling leaves in performing arts. Whether running freely during daily unstructured outdoor play on our playground or running an experiment in science, McDonogh students learn to love the great outdoors.
