What students are saying about the Mater Center and Renovated spaces:

We’ve been waiting for the Mater Center and to come back from COVID to have this new building as a centerpiece of starting fresh was so exciting.

I love the theater. It’s pretty cool to have assemblies in there as an entire Middle School community. It’s nice to be in the theater together.

– Molly ’27

The [Lower School] library is my most favorite place to be. All of the books here make me smile.

“Each time my bow graces the strings, I am transported to diverse cultures, time periods, and imaginative worlds, and I have the opportunity to listen to, and appreciate, the stories of those who came before me. I look forward to orchestra class as an opportunity to make beautiful music with my ensemble.
