[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would make sense for Maret to expand the Lower School into the new space and reform the main campus for middle and high school.

I am not part of the Maret community and don't have access to the community FAQ.[/quote]

It’s a big site with eight buildings. Most likely have lower school(including 8th) over at this new site and high school only at Maret. This will allow them to expand each class.[/quote]

This is not part of the plans as far as anyone knows. Families love that Maret is a k-12 campus. It feels very integrated and is a lovely aspect of the school that really adds to its community feel. [/quote]

Maret is doing due diligence on buy all of ECC. What are they going to do with it if not put their lower school there?[/quote]

No one knows at this time, not even Maret. My guess is they move the high school there eventually. This would make the most sense logistically, to be close to the new fields.[/quote]

No the current location is near metro and will make a fairly impressive High School with renovations. It would be stupid to move the high school. High school student use the sports facilities after school and it is a short drive or buss ride to ECC. The money and prestige is at the high school level. Look at Sidwell. Most people do not even know there is a lower school or if they do where it is.

The ECC is in the middle of the wilderness much better location for lower school. The logical action would be to build out the lower school at ECC using existing buildings/grounds and renovate the current Maret grounds as an upper school. It’s should be the priority. The lower school could be moved fairly quickly depending on the building and lack of historical property.

With the opening of the new field there will be enough space to stage construction at the Maret site and still conduct school. Though it will depend on what they plan to do to the property. I don’t think the school will have problems raising the money. [/quote]
