About

 The Lomond School Community will nurture and educate children to be inquisitive, compassionate, knowledgeable students who love learning, value diversity and are responsive to the needs of the world.

Lomond Elementary is a Grade K-5 International Baccalaureate World School. Lomond Elementary School provides Title I services schoolwide, which includes an emphasis on planning, use of evidence-based strategies, family involvement and professional development.

History:
Lomond Elementary School is a Georgian-style building that sits on over 8.5 acres, built in 1928. The school grounds includes a learning garden created by Lomond’s PTO, playground equipment, two softball fields (the home field for the High School’s Varsity and Junior Varsity softball teams) and a soccer field. The school building is slated to undergo a full renovation as part of the District's Master Facilities Plan. The start date of that project will be determined in the near future.

Enrollment:
Current enrollment at Lomond Elementary approximately 450 students. Lomond's diverse student body is comprises 64% African American students, 21% white students and 15% representing other ethnicities. It has student representation from nearly 20 countries. Lomond has around 70 staff members.  

Family-Friendly:
Student families are active partners with Lomond School. Teachers maintain close contact with families via newsletters, texting, voicemail and email to keep them informed of their student's progress. Conferences are held in the spring and fall, and teachers are available by appointment.  Lomond is a family-friendly environment where family participation is welcomed. Many families assist by attending field trips, helping with class parties or special projects, journal writing, etc. Lomond has an active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), which supports the school in many aspects. 

Curriculum:
At Lomond, our mission is to nurture students who are civic minded; who are confident, competent communicators skillful in problem solving, creative thinkers and who are knowledgeable of our global and multicultural society.

We accomplish this mission by engaging students in a concept based curriculum, an education for the understanding of significant ideas.  Through the exploration and re-exploration of concepts students develop an understanding and appreciation of ideas that transcends disciplines. Within this concept based curriculum teachers strive to make each learning experience authentic, relevant and transdisciplinary. For more information on transdisciplinary curriculum, please visit our International Baccalaureate page and view our Programme of Inquiry.
