Senior School Project

During the summer of 2025, Sewickley Academy will embark on a new and extensive project to remodel the existing Senior School building, which was last expanded and updated in 1999.

This project aims to create a modern, innovative learning environment that is more collegiate, warm, and functional. The building will feature reconfigured spaces and cutting-edge technology to enhance the overall teaching and learning experience.

We encourage you to explore the scope and benefits below to learn more about the project and how you can get involved with this effort.

Project Scope:

Extensive renovation of the existing 25,000 square foot building, creating:

- 19 classrooms
- Flexible testing room
- Faculty offices and lounge area
- Administrative spaces

Overall Benefits:

Reconfigured classrooms to support modern teaching and learning methods
Enhanced student and group collaboration spaces
Updated educational technology
First-class safety and security features
Expanded use of natural light throughout

Senior School Commons

The Commons is the “social heart” of the Senior School. It is a space that our students use to collaborate on projects, gather as a community, meet for activities and clubs, and connect with friends throughout the school day.

A generous $100,000 gift from the Home & School Association will help to revitalize this space. The updates will provide a more contemporary and collegiate aesthetic with increased natural lighting and all-new furniture, which has been selected with student input. This significant donation demonstrates the Home & School Association's ongoing dedication to fostering student growth by ensuring access to a modern, innovative learning environment.

We are grateful to the Home & School Association and the Sewickley Academy community for making this meaningful contribution possible. This gift—and others like it—will help shape a brighter future for students, faculty, and staff.
