The 94,000 sq. ft. Art Deco-inspired campus on 13 acres will include:

  • a library with a story-telling space, which will double as a small group work area.
  • all classrooms in grades 1-5 will have a direct connection to the interior student collaboration spaces;
  • the 6-8 quad will include an outdoor amphitheater, covered small group instruction areas, space for outdoor science activities and a garden;
  • outdoor collaboration spaces throughout the campus for all grade levels; and
  • a gymnasium with a fitness lab.
