Serving 500-plus students in fast-growing Buckeye, west of Phoenix, the $25.5-million K-8 school is organized with three learning communities operated along traditional age-based grade bands, but the floorplan can flex to an ability-based cohort involving teacher-facilitated learning.
Principles of high-performance and biophilic design such as ample natural light, views and access to the outdoors are a strong foundation for quality learning. For example, providing natural lighting is the “sky-bridge,” the school’s spine and community hub.
