Located on the east side of the district to better serve local families, the new K-5 school honors its agricultural past while cultivating a future of exploration, flexibility, and outdoor learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-73db555c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><section class=\"higherup-accordion__section\">\n    <div class=\"higherup-accordion__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<div class=\"higherup-accordion__tab-container\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<button id=\"\" class=\"accordion-headline-container\" aria-controls=\"headline-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading accordion-headline\">Project News &amp; Awards<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"headline-content\" class=\"accordion-content-container\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p class=\"accordion-tab-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wzzm13.com\/article\/news\/education\/west-ottawa-school-district-officials-break-ground-on-new-school\/69-4f334ab8-16b3-4079-b485-05288c8168bc\">West Ottawa breaks ground on $30M elementary school coming in 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_tE43iNNKj\/\">Education without boundaries.

The school\u2019s outdoor kindergarten program is a cornerstone of this project, offering a curriculum that lets young learners connect with the world around them through interactions with nature. The school encourages hands-on learning and student curiosity. Natural materials, biophilic elements, and ample daylight are present throughout. Single-sided hallways lined with floor-to-ceiling windows invite light and views into every learning space, while extended learning areas at the end of each academic wing offer boundary-less environments for collaboration, small group instruction, and quiet focus. These flexible spaces, filled with movable furniture and adaptable casework, support a variety of teaching and learning styles and allow the school to evolve with its students\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N26_jpg-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N26_jpg-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N26_jpg-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N26_jpg-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N26_jpg-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N26_jpg.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a523a222 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:4rem;margin-bottom:4rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N24_jpg-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N24_jpg-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N24_jpg-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N24_jpg-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N24_jpg-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5_4873_N24_jpg.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Modern Learning Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior massing and natural material palette of the building are a thoughtful nod to the site\u2019s agricultural history, blending a rustic aesthetic with modern functionality. This architectural style, both exterior and interior, is unique to the district and fulfilled their desire for a magnetic building that would prioritize engagement and visibility in their neighboring community. Kindergarten and specials are housed in one building, while grades 1\u20135 are located in a second connected building, with a shared courtyard at the center to foster interaction and transition between indoor and outdoor learning environments. The music room opens onto a platform into the cafeteria and courtyard to support performances and community events. An upgraded media center provides space for reading and instruction, while three distinct outdoor play areas, tailored to different age groups, along with a flexible sports field and neighborhood-connected walking paths, make the site as engaging outside as it is inside. Each classroom also has direct access to outdoor classrooms that lead into adjacent play areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignfull has-nested-images
