To cultivate the development of a whole person, a school should facilitate a diversity of interactions between people, places, ecologies, and things. These interactions exist at multiple scales: at a student’s desk, in the classroom, in communal spaces shared by a single grade/several grades/the whole tier/the entire school and in the world beyond it. The courtyard, at the heart of the school, is an assemblage where the whole diversity of the school comes together. Around this courtyard, programmatic spaces are organized in clusters (sports, food, performance, core and specialized classrooms)
The school is connected to the broader world far beyond the boundaries of its site. It provides opportunities to connect to social and ecological networks. Landscapes and public spaces that bring local ecosystems and community into the school are located along the perimeter (and roof) of the school.
