Fielding Nair International are leaders in 21st century school architecture, creating learning spaces where form follows function
Teachers & students share learning spaces and choose the most appropriate space for a particular project or lesson
Glass Garage Doors and Sliding Doors will connect the studios to the commons to expand project work space.
Sliding doors between the learning studios will allow for team teaching and collaboration, and movement outdoors when needed.

Where does the money come from…?
• The Capital Fund: Previous generations of parents and supporters had the foresight to create a fund for capital projects. They invested in the future of PDS and its students. We are the beneficiaries of their generosity and commitment.
• Fundraising: We look to our current families and friends to support this project and continue to create opportunities for our children and their future.
