Churchill School & Center

The Churchill School and Center is an innovative and transformational K-12 learning community that empowers students with language-based learning disabilities. Since its founding in 1972, Churchill has embraced an individualized and holistic approach to education that nurtures students’ intellectual, physical, emotional, and social development.
Churchill recently embarked on a planning process that seeks to ‘reverse engineer’ the environment by starting with the student rather than compromising best practices due to facility limitations. This long-term planning effort is founded on the development of a Program Plan that articulates and aligns internal consensus regarding priorities for academics, art, performance, athletics and technology, as well as psychographic and demographic surveys that affirm key elements of enrollment. The corresponding Feasibility Study included a facilities condition assessment and consideration of real estate assets.
