and inspire inventiveness, creativity, innovation, and perceptiveness. We strive to enable each child to achieve his or her maximum potential by investing in collaborative, modern spaces where our students can learn from each other and our teachers can incorporate ever changing technology into their teachings.
We are BUILDING INGENUITY by modernizing the classroom learning experience while strengthening the school community. By the fall of 2015 our first new classrooms in over 40 years will be in full operation! This new learning environment will consist of 10 new upper school classrooms, a faculty lounge and a large communal gathering area in the plaza. We are in discussion with the Town of Portola Valley about plans to create a new STREAM (Science Technology Robotics Engineering Art and Math) Center. This would include the creation of new science labs, a robotics lab and art classrooms allowing for more project and inquiry based learning.
When asked what we are building, the response is simple - we are BUILDING INGENUITY. Thank you to the many families who have demonstrated their commitment to our vision to bring these plans to fruition.
Sincerely,
Siobhán Lawlor
Director of Development
