Academics & Classes
September 16, 2025
We, at Lord Nelson School, prioritize learning in a way students will enjoy. Our classes include English, Science, Math, Physical Education, Library, and Music.
Our school provides learning technology like iPads and Chromebooks for individual play or project researching.
Some classrooms prefer to use an online platform like Seesaw, where students can upload and submit their work to the classroom teacher, receive notices and classroom messages from their teacher, and can interact with their friends, which are all monitored closely by the teacher.
Other classrooms will use Google Classroom, which is similar to Seesaw. Online platform depends on the classroom teachers, so it may differ each year.
Below is a list of our staff for the 2025-2026 school year!
