Highland School

“The new Lower School building was designed in keeping with the best educational practices. Spaces will allow for collaborative and individual work, where differentiated learning can take place.” Lise Hicklin, Lower School Director

  • Campus design goes beyond current curriculum to provide for all different kinds of learning
  • Purpose-built spaces offer much more flexibility over a longer period of time
  • Common areas are a center focus for all grade levels in the new Lower School building
  • New, separate spaces will offer quiet areas with fewer distractions for improved learning opportunities
  • New Middle School gymnasium would allow increased program offerings as well as an additional regulation-size space for games and practices
  • Student athletes would not have to wait for practice times and would get home earlier
  • New gym space would allow Highland to host more tournaments and showcase our facilities and students
  • Spaces at every level, Lower, Middle and Upper, will be flexible and promote learning, communication and interaction within the division and beyond
  • New space designed in part to keep smaller class sizes and promote family involvement and close teacher relationships with students

“As we move deeper into the process of designing the new learning spaces that will define Highland in the future, we remain focused on the quality of the education our students currently experience.” Hank Berg, Head of School
