A modernist, flat and sleek charter school, made of orange brick with rectangular window panes breaking up the large structure. Most recently renovated in 2011, the building and surrounding sidewalks and parking lots are impeccably maintained, and provide sharp orderliness against the more eclectic architectural styles of the surrounding residential neighborhood. The two schools, with separate opposite entrances, sit next to a playground, and currently serves children in Kindergarten through the 8th Grade.
