CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT

The planning around developing our campus started back in 2017. The research was clear: we need more space to deliver an exceptional and contemporary education. Anticipating the ever changing needs of an all-girls' edcuation has always been a strength of our school. This project will be no different. Over the next couple of years we will move forward to completely reimagine the academic teaching and learning environment, delivering a campus that is befitting our communty's brightest, most energetic, and ambitious young women.

What exactly is a reimagined academic and teaching environment? It's new, much larger classrooms with break-out spaces and capacity for scaleable technology. It is expanding STEAM space and centralizing the lab, so the tools can be accessed easily across curriculum. It is a massive expansion in our performing arts space, including specialized rehearsal spaces for choir and drama, dressing rooms, costume and storage and, most excitingly, an Auditorium that easily transitions into a theatre for performances. With so many of our students in science, it is a science lab renewal with an additional, fourth, laboratory. It is new kitchens for Food Studies to replace the ones that are nearly unchanged in 70 years. With the ever increasing role of both academic and personal counselling, there is expanded space for the school's Counselling Department. It will include an all-weather synthetic field for our outdoor sports. It is, probably, the single biggest change to our school campus since the mid 1950s.

Though there is monumental campus change coming, what makes LFA special will remain the same. Research was undertaken as we explored expanding enrollment and came to the conclusion that our current student population is ideal. The accessibility of a Little Flower education remains at the heart of our school mission, so campus development will coincide the expanding role of the school's endowment fund to provide both operational resources and financial aid.
