Physical Environment

The physical environment is the third teacher.

The physical environment scaffolds and supports pedagogy and practice. It communicates value and worth to those in it. It has practical and symbolic power. The physical environment matters in its beauty, function, and philosophical alignment.

Beginning with a church building and a 1930’s-era public school building, we have transformed physical spaces and created three schools with award-winning designs that were intentionally developed and beautifully constructed.
