designed to enhance and further Priory community by creating an environment where our kids can flourish by providing the right space, the right tools and plenty of learning support to help them develop their maximum potential. Currently, this potential is limited by inflexible physical space and impractical technology. Our goal is to build ingenuity by modernizing the classroom learning experience while strengthening the school community. The effect of the new classrooms and improved technology will further enhance the student learning experience today and increase the capacity of the Priory to attract talented students and teachers well into the future.
Construction of our ten new classrooms on Benedictine Square is still on schedule to be completed by June of 2015, in plenty of time for the start of school. Plans for our new STREAM Center (Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) are well underway. Our architects have been working closely with our faculty to ensure that the new learning spaces maximize educational opportunities. The early footprint of the two story building has been completed and includes three new labs, a robotics lab and four art rooms.
In the end, it’s only because of your generosity that we are able to make these plans and dream these dreams. And for that, I am most grateful!
I wish you and your family a most blessed and happy holiday season. Sincerely,
Siobhán Lawlor
Director of Development
