After completing a master plan that identified the needs for a new K8 school, additions and a potential new church, this school was designed and constructed to seamlessly blend with the existing church while providing 21 Century Education environments.
The building houses a K8 two-track school for over 500 students and includes a gym, library, daycare, school offices and support functions. Future expansions include additions at both wings of the school and a new cafeteria addition to the gym.
Classroom expansion will be possible at both wings of the school. A cafeteria is also planned as a future phase adjacent to the gym.
