Wooster School to phase out lower school program

Wooster School in Danbury has announced that it would be phasing out its Lower School program over the next two years.  While there's record enrollment growth in the Upper School program, up 50-percent in the last 5 years, the same hasn't been seen in the lower school  Head of School Matt Byrnes says regional and national trends are contributing factors, including a steadily declining birthrate over the last ten years and the rising cost of college.  He says they regret the necessity of phasing out the lower school program, but are excited to be able to focus more fully on their strengths as a school.  Wooster School will continue to offer a lower school program for students in grades three through five next school year, and fourth and fifth grade options the following year.
