School Notes

  • In the fall of 2019, we opened our first two campuses in Shenzhen, China and Washington, D.C. In the coming years, we plan to expand gradually to a system of campuses in the world`s leading cities. A typical campus will grow to serve 2,500 full-time students, ages 3 to 18, with boarding available in the middle and upper school divisions. In upper grade levels, students will be able to participate in global rotations on our campuses around the globe.
