Upper School students learning in the Hub

Global Innovation Hub

In 2024, we celebrated the opening of the Global Innovation Hub, an additional 17,000+ sq. ft. that enhances every aspect of learning for our 9th-12th graders.

With an entire new, cohesive Upper School wing, state-of-the-art classrooms, and cutting-edge science labs, this facility offers endless opportunities for students to engage in collaborative, hands-on learning.

The Hub gives our students a sense of pride in their school and provides a dynamic environment that fosters creativity and innovation.
