ALL IN – THIS YEAR’S GOAL
Built in 1891, Academy Hall is one of our beautiful
historic buildings on campus. To make the most of its incredible space, we are undertaking a comprehensive restoration of the currently vacant second and third floors, featuring new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Once complete, Academy Hall will be both beautiful and functional, bringing all of our administrative offices together under one roof. When renovations are complete, our business offices will move into Academy Hall, allowing the current space to become the Academic Resource Center (ARC). The ARC will offer a library, faculty offices, and versatile spaces designed for students’ study or group collaboration. This transformation will provide valuable student support while also creating room for additional Upper School Classrooms – expanding opportunities for learning and growth across campus.
BUILDING IN FAITH CAMPAIGN
Due to your generosity, we have been able to complete two much-needed expansions at both Vest Hall and our Spring Hill campus. The combined 15 additional new or expanded classrooms have greatly improved our facilities and allowed us to open the door to more students.
PRESCHOOL EXPANSION
Until now, our Columbia preschoolers have been divided between two buildings, the Grimes Building and Ms. Cathy’s House. Four additional classrooms have been added to the Grimes Building to house all classrooms in one building!
TENNIS COURT/PICKLEBALL OVERHAUL
Our tennis courts have gotten a complete overhaul! The new Thrasher Family Tennis Complex now has new concrete on the courts, ADA-compliant paths, new court lighting, and a player’s plaza. We even have a few pickleball courts to enjoy. We hope this will become a facility both our students and the community can enjoy for years to come.
