FEATURES
Breaking New Ground
No doubt, the past three years of construction have physically transformed Cannon Campus. Even more exciting are the opportunities for growth being afforded to our students inside these buildings. For instance, negative-pressure
fume hoods in the chemistry classrooms provide for a higher level of safety in creating college-level labs. The Upper School Makerspace is in high demand across disciplines, including Spanish II classes, which used the space to create and present their Day of the Dead altars. By moving study halls to the expansive Dowd Student Center, students collaborate quietly in small study groups or spread out their study materials. And Lower School students now follow a more meaningful and age-appropriate special areas schedule, which is possible because of their dedicated dining hall space. In the pages ahead, we look at how these new spaces are allowing us to break new ground to give our students the tools, skills, and experiences that will fully prepare them for the future.
“The Brock Center for Extended Day space is a brighter, more inviting, and happy space for our children to thrive. Our kids love that they have their own space during Extended Day, where they have access to materials and resources that they love, help with homework, and a chance to connect with friends, relax, and be themselves.� Raquel Tillman, Lower School parent 12
