Excitement is building as we take the next step toward opening our brand-new campus! With construction well underway, we are thrilled to share the floor plans that will shape the daily experiences of our students, teachers, and families. Every detail, from the flow of classrooms and collaboration spaces to the design of common areas and outdoor learning environments, has been carefully considered to foster curiosity, community, and a culture of joyful learning.  

These plans represent more than just walls and hallways; they reflect our vision for a vibrant, forward-thinking educational environment where students can thrive. 

Academic Building 
Floor One 

Anchoring the first floor is our cafeteria, a bright and spacious hub where students will gather daily to share meals and connect with friends. On the opposite side of the campus, the multi-purpose room/theater offers a dedicated space for assemblies, performances, and community events—ensuring that the arts and public speaking have a central role in campus life. 

The first floor also includes six general classrooms filled with Subject Expert Teachers, each equipped to support dynamic, student-centered learning. Surrounding these academic spaces are administrative offices, which serve as the operational core of the school and provide a welcoming entry point for families and visitors. 

For convenience and accessibility, the campus is designed with student restrooms strategically located in the center for ease of use throughout the day. And though the campus has two elevators, students will travel primarily by the three stairwells located throughout the building, making transitions efficient and safe during busy class changes. 

Floor Two 

Mirroring the first floor, two community spaces make up our second floor – a Junior Commons and Senior Commons. These spaces are more than just places to relax though. They are designed to encourage peer-to-peer interaction, group study, and a strong sense of belonging. Each commons area reflects the needs of its students, giving them room to build community and develop independence as they progress through their school journey. 

Surrounding the commons are 17 classrooms, purpose-built to support engaging, rigorous instruction across subjects by our Subject Expert Teachers. These classrooms will be equipped to adapt to a variety of teaching styles and learning experiences, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive. 

Also located on this floor are additional administrative offices, providing faculty and staff with convenient access to resources and support. Their placement ensures that academic life and administrative operations remain closely connected, promoting a seamless flow to the school day. 

Floor Three 

The third and top floor of our new campus is designed on the creative side. This floor includes two art labs and two music labs; each tailored to spark imagination and foster artistic expression. Whether students are painting, sculpting, composing, or rehearsing, these specialized spaces ensure the arts remain a vital part of the school experience. 

Complementing the arts is an array of state-of-the-art science facilities. The floor is home to four physics labs, three biology labs, and three chemistry labs, offering students the opportunity to engage deeply with scientific concepts through experimentation and inquiry. Alongside these labs is a general classroom, designed for instruction and discussions that connect theory to practice. 

To support both students and faculty, the top floor also houses administrative offices, ensuring convenient access to academic and program leadership. 

By bringing together the arts and sciences, the top floor embodies the spirit of a well-rounded education—one that values both analytical problem-solving and creative expression. It stands as the pinnacle of the campus, both literally and figuratively, preparing students to explore, innovate, and lead. 

Gym 

One of the most exciting features of our new campus is the state-of-the-art gymnasium, a space designed to inspire school spirit, athletic excellence, and community connection. 

Measuring 8,544 square feet, the gym provides ample room for practices, games, and physical education classes. Its versatile design allows for a wide range of activities—from basketball and volleyball to school-wide fitness programs—ensuring that students at every level can stay active and engaged. 

Equipped with spectator seating for just over 200 people, the gym will also serve as a gathering place where families, friends, and classmates can come together to cheer on our athletes and celebrate school traditions. More than just a space for sports, it will become a hub for community events and shared experiences. 

With its combination of size, functionality, and thoughtful design, the gym is set to be a cornerstone of student life on campus—promoting teamwork, perseverance, and pride in our growing school community. 

Outside

At our new campus, outdoor spaces are designed with both play and community in mind. Students will enjoy a full competition playfield that provides plenty of room for games, practices, and spirited matches. Alongside the field, a dedicated basketball court offers additional opportunities for friendly competition and active play.

Beyond athletics, we’ve created inviting seating areas where students can gather, relax, and connect with one another. Whether they’re cheering on friends during a game, enjoying a quiet moment between classes, or simply spending time together, these spaces are an important part of building a vibrant school community.

Our goal is to ensure every student has a place to play, to participate, and to belong—whether on the court, on the field, or in the stands with friends.
