Demand for more classes prompted the gradual expansion of the School. In 1979, the School celebrated the graduation of its first eighth grade class. In 1980, with 527 students in Preschool, Lower School, and Middle School, the significant enlargement of the School’s campus began. The campus master plan was completed in 2006, and the School now serves approximately 850 students from age two to eighth grade.
