Propelled by our institutional commitment to strengthen the lower school experience, we are fundraising to thoughtfully enhance the spaces where students EAT, PLAY, and LEARN. Together, these enhancements will create welcoming, purposeful environments that nurture well-being, connection, and joyful learning each day.

The image displays a goal of R$6M, with the current amount raised being R$335.8K.

EAT
LOWER SCHOOL CAFETERIA
Our new Lower School Cafeteria will give younger students a space that truly feels like theirs—child-sized tables and chairs and room for everyone to sit comfortably with friends. Designed to make lunchtime a smooth, calm, and welcoming experience, it will support healthy routines and help students enjoy meals in a peaceful, age-appropriate environment.

PLAY
BIG PLAYGROUND RENOVATION
With the Early Years Playground complete, we’re ready to transform the Big Playground into an engaging space envisioned by students, for students. Open-ended play equipment will invite children to imagine, climb, balance, and build essential gross motor and social skills as they explore. Built for big fun and even bigger adventures, the Big Playground will be a place where students can move, connect, and discover.

LEARN
NEW GRADE 5 CLASSROOMS
Brand-new fifth-grade classrooms will offer bright lighting, flexible furniture, and comfortable spaces that support focus and meaningful engagement. Uniting all grade 5 students in one hallway will create an environment that enhances collaboration, strengthens peer connections, and expands learning opportunities.
