lower schools

Primary education facilities

Lower schools are educational institutions serving younger children, typically the earliest grades of a school system.

In British usage, a lower school often covers ages roughly 9–13 before students move to upper school.

In American contexts, it usually refers to elementary or primary divisions within a larger school: The lower school has its own building and principal.
