Campaign Updates | Fall 2024

Breaking Ground!

The moment we have all been waiting for arrived: we broke ground on October 14, and construction is officially underway! Fencing is up, equipment is on-site, and our shared vision is taking shape before our eyes.

Grazie Mille

Since our public campaign launched on October 1, we have raised over $130,000! We are so grateful to every family and individual for their investment in the vision

Campaign Progress for La Scuola’s future, and we are now asking for everyone in the community to join this effort to help us reach and exceed our goal - and your gift will be doubled! A very generous donor is matching gifts up to $1 million so that we can cross the finish line together. Please join your community in becoming part of this transformational project for La Scuola!

Construction Updates

We are pleased to share that the project continues to be on time and on budget.

Excavation, dust generating, and soil movement activities were concluded on Friday, November 8. Soil was removed from the site, and the ground has been covered with clean road base material.

With the end of dust generating activity, the small outdoor area outside the portables is once again accessible to students. Looking ahead, ground improvement work will begin and concrete will be poured.

“This building is for our students. It is a place where their ideas will flourish and their questions will be heard, where inclusivity and open mindedness will be fostered, and they will grow up to be global citizens who will work hard to create a more just and peaceful world.”

-Head of School Valentina Imbeni

A Glimpse of the Future

Rendering as of 11/25/2024

The natural environment quite often surprises children and provides them with the spontaneity that leads to new cognitive pathways, curiosities, and a sense of wonder. La Scuola’s new exterior space will feature a beautiful Garden Atelier, where, through hands-on, multi-sensory lessons, students will become better stewards of the world around them.

In addition, our updated yard will include more play space, outdoor dining tables, and a piazza for gatherings and celebrations.
