Our beautiful 30-acre campus takes up a full city block. Classrooms rest at the center of an historic property, with the campus building situated among trees and athletic fields. Designated laboratories, regulation-size basketball courts, and clay and glass kilns are just a few highlights of the quality facilities that help support and enrich our varied curriculum. A campus addition, including updated classrooms, was completed in fall 2015. Discover more about our campus.
