In keeping with The Good Hope School belief that youngsters learn best when they are happy, the colorful classrooms of the Lower School provide a cheerful, reassuring homeroom setting. The focus is on nurturing and encouragement which fosters development in all areas.

In small groups, students begin to structure their lives with a sense of well-being. The day is divided into periods of academic work and creative expression aimed at enhancing children's ability to interact with each other.

Basic learning in these primary years sets clear patterns for future academic growth, both in fundamental skills and in the more elusive areas of curiosity and motivation. Basic programs in reading, writing, and mathematics are taught thoroughly. Creative activities are important parts of the program.

Lower School classrooms are self-contained. The basic curriculum is supported by special subject teachers in art, music, computer, Spanish, and physical education.

An Early Childhood Program for children ages 2 ½-5 is taught at both Good Hope School campuses. The main campus is located along the Caribbean coast at the West End of the Melvin Evans Highway. The East End campus is located in Estate All for the Better, 2 miles east of Christiansted.
