The entire campus is nestled onto the hillside fronting a stream creating an almost tree house environment. It was essential in the design that the new classrooms and multi-purpose space seamlessly open to the outdoors as the educational pedagogy of the school highlights the value of indoor and outdoor learning. Generous decks and play areas adjoining the building further these opportunities.
