New Foundations for the Future Facilities

The Elementary School building was built in 2007, and has aged well over the past 15 years, although as the Elementary School continues to expand, with 540 students in 2023, classroom space is starting to get tight. Despite being a new facility, there have been significant renovations to continue improving the educational environment.

In 2018, the school completely renovated the ‘back playground’ area. The playground now features a large wooden Pirate Ship, as well as a tree house, rope obstacle course, zip line, in-ground trampolines, and other fun playground equipment. This area is now referred to as the ‘Pirate Ship Playground’ and is a favorite for our community. Alumni will be happy to hear that despite all of the renovations, the ‘cube’ jungle gym, which at this point is probably held together by the paint, is still a favorite down on the main playground.

In the summer of 2021, the Elementary School also added an early years play area behind the building which is enclosed, and features a water pump, slides, netting areas, and other tactile play areas. With the addition of the Pre-K 2 and Pre-K 3 grade levels, a dedicated playground for this age group was needed. The early years classrooms have back doors, which lead out into the play areas for easy transitions.

There is a soft play room in the gym building, which is used for the early childhood students during ‘bad air’ days or whenever the teacher needs to take the students on a little field trip to burn off some energy!

The Elementary School library was completely renovated and updated in 2017, and now provides not only an incredible array of books, but comfortable reading nooks and hammocks for students. It is such an impressive space, and many parents have commented that they would have been better students with a library like it!

With the opening of the High School, the cafeteria is now used only by the Elementary, British, and Middle Schools. A new early years section has been added on the far side of the cafeteria for the youngest students to provide a smaller and quieter area for their snacks and lunches.
