A beautiful beginning
What is Lux?
Lux is an entry-anywhere, four-year rotation for children ages five through nine. Each cycle stands on its own, so a child may begin in any year without prerequisites. Children age out at ten, and completing all four years is never required.
Age-appropriate by design
Stories and activities are rich enough to inspire wonder, yet flexible enough to meet children at different stages from ages 5–9.
Family-centered
Parents may stay, younger and older siblings may accompany the family, and simple at-home memory review helps the class become a shared family culture.
Made for joyful memory
Children revisit beautiful words, songs, places, people, and ideas through recitation, movement, music, art, nature, and handicraft.
