The redeveloped two-story building will feature dedicated spaces for preschool, elementary, and secondary students, with each designed to support age-appropriate learning.
What will some of the features of the new school be?
The new school's amenities will include: double the number of classrooms with the capacity to serve over 500 students, a full-size gym, a new cafetorium, enhanced hands-on learning and specialized instructional spaces, and expanded green space to support outdoor education.
School leadership says the renovations represent far more than a building project; they reflect their commitment to providing excellent Christ-centered education for families across Central Minnesota. They expect to open the doors to the new building for tours as early as July.
