Designed by renowned architects at Ennead (then Polshek partners), the 158,000 square-foot building occupies an entire city block, providing our pre-Kindergarten through high-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµsenior students with a safe, secure learning environment featuring an array of specialty classrooms, learning labs, studios, creative and recreation spaces in which to discover, learn and grow.
Expanding on this vision, in 2016, our Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµopened its new York Wing, adding 20,000 square feet of digitally-enabled flexible classrooms for collaborative teaching and learning. Additional spaces for students included a new media lab, makerspace, as well as a new Primary music room and movement room.
