The Evelyne Sheats Lower School

THE EVELYNE SHEATS

Lower School PK4-5th GRADE

In the earliest days of the school’s founding, Rabun Gap served families of all ages with access to education. The Evelyne Sheats Lower School offers Rabun Gap an opportunity to return to that noble mission.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We Lead The Way...

THROUGH COMMUNITY

Providing opportunity to develop an expanded worldview and strong cultural competency for a more interconnected future.

THROUGH ACADEMICS

Our traditional curriculum and innovative practices inspire delight in learning and promote fulfillment of potential and readiness for success at the next level.

THROUGH PLAY

Students develop physical, cognitive, and emotional strength when given the opportunity to play both inside and outside the classroom. Play enables them to use their creativity and interact with the world around them.

THROUGH ATHLETICS

Exercise and skill development offer our students a unique bonding experience that builds teamwork, friendships, spirit, confidence, and character.

THROUGH THE ARTS

The fine arts program provides rich opportunities for growth by encouraging creative exploration, self-discovery, and analytical thinking.

THROUGH FAITH, HONOR, SERVICE

Character development is woven into the fabric of our curriculum and includes service-learning activities. Regular worship services reinforce our Presbyterian heritage.

THROUGH AFFORDABILITY

We strive to make a Rabun Gap education sustainable for families through financial aid grants and affordable bus service.
