[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can any current SSSAS parents offer insight into the planned construction project for the Upper Campus?  From our recent tour, the school definitely looks to be in need of an update and modernization, but it also seems like this is going to be pretty disruptive for students (if I’m understanding correctly, no cafeteria for a year, modular classrooms, etc.).  What is the exact timeline and details of impact on US classes and students?[/quote]

+1 SSSAS definitely needs the update, especially given the tuition they charge for such outdated facilities. However, it appears they will be tearing down an entire wing of classrooms during the expansion. This would mean my kid looking at high school next year would have 2-3 years filled with construction, noise and trailer classrooms. [/quote]

No, this isn’t true. Did you look at the master plan? It will be done in phases and almost entirely during two summers, not during the school year.[/quote]

Not sure where the master plan is, but the FAQ on the website indicates the following timeline:

“The project will take 15 months to complete---two summers and one school year, and will be funded through philanthropy. We are in the early stages of fundraising efforts for this project, and we anticipate that the break-ground date will follow the 2022-2023 school year.”

According to this, it will be done during the school year.  My understanding from the tour is that the entire old wing will be torn down and unavailable for use for the entire duration of the construction period.  No cafeteria and modular classrooms as temporary replacements.[/quote]
