Why Choose Rectory's Elementary School?

Because understanding your child is our highest priority—and our greatest strength.

Every child learns differently, and at Rectory, we embrace those differences. Working closely with families, our Elementary team provides the right balance of support and challenge to help each student thrive.

Our Elementary School is a warm, engaged community where students are encouraged to discover their strengths, build confidence, and grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Together, we celebrate each child’s individuality while fostering a sense of connection and belonging.

MELP Jr. Studios

Every March, our elementary students step out of the traditional classroom and into a week-long learning adventure. MELP Jr. Studios invites students to dive deeply into meaningful topics, explore real-world connections, and engage in hands-on experiences. It’s a chance to study big ideas, build new skills, and discover the joy of learning in authentic, unforgettable ways.

We Are Family

Belonging matters. Our community is grounded in acceptance, support, and care for one another. Students live our Creed—Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Compassion—in their classrooms, on the playground, and in every corner of campus. It’s how we treat one another, and it’s who we are.

Legendary Faculty

At the center of everything we do are the teachers who know each student deeply. Our faculty are more than instructors—they are mentors, guides, and champions who shape confidence, curiosity, and character. Their influence reaches far beyond the classroom and stays with students long after they leave.

A Truly Individualized Approach

Every child learns differently, and we honor that. Our elementary program is built around the belief that children thrive when trusted adults support them, challenge them, and believe in their potential. We meet students where they are and help them stretch to where they can go.

Learning in Action

Rectory students are encouraged to think boldly, ask questions, and try new ideas. They learn to look at the world, identify challenges, and take real steps to create solutions. This is learning that sticks—because it’s meaningful and applied, not memorized.

Individualized Instruction Program (IIP)

Through IIP, students strengthen foundational skills, learn strategies to manage their learning, and receive targeted support or enrichment. It’s purposeful, responsive instruction designed to help students grow—and to help them discover how they learn best.
