The Florida Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists enthusiastically celebrated the groundbreaking of a new school in Greater Tampa, serving the Wesley Chapel community and beyond. The early childhood through 12th grade school, which will be ready to open for the 2018-2019 school year, will be one of the most advanced schools in the United States.

Location:
5619 E. County Line Rd.
Wesley Chapel, FL 33544

What is now over 43 acres of pasture on County Line Road
(south of Wesley Chapel) will be transformed into one of the most advanced schools in the United States. This new
campus is scheduled to open for the 2018-19 school year.

Architecturally: This school will use a campus design provided by the world-class architects at Fielding Nair (FieldingNair.com). Prakash Nair and his team have combined the best practices from their global school projects to produce a customized plan that blends with the natural beauty of the land. Wannemacher Jensen Architects of St. Petersburg will lead the implementation of this project.

Operationally: The “software” of the school (i.e., everything but the campus and facilities) will be developed by School Growth’s team of experts. Utilizing a propriety methodology for school design, they will provide the plan for organizational governance, operational execution, and administrative leadership.

Academically: The learning design of this new school will use the best practices from pedagogical and brain research to deliver a holistic experience for each student. School Growth will be working closely with the talented leadership team within the Department of Education from the Florida Conference to produce the curricular and co-curricular plans.

The vision for this new campus began back in 2012 when the Florida Conference in concert with Adventist Health Systems and Florida Hospital West Florida Region began to work with Tampa Bay area churches and schools to consider a new campus in the greater Tampa area.
