A PLACE to GROW

Renowned for over 70 years of educational excellence in the Tampa community, St. John’s Episcopal School envisions a campus that supports unprecedented opportunities to transform the lives of current and future generations of children.

Completion of the plan will see the advent of a campus that is aesthetically attractive and inviting. It will allow students to learn through exploration, delve deeply into classroom subject matter, explore their creativity in unprecedented ways, and balance academic pursuits with co-curricular activities and experiences.

It will provide spacious classrooms to support innovative teaching and learning, dedicated outdoor spaces for play, expansion of the performing arts, state-of-the-art spaces for robotics, STEM, video production, technology integration, and so much more. With this new campus, children and their teachers will realize the ‘impossible possibilities.’
