Our newest chapter, almost complete.
Our new Upper School completes the K–12 campus generations of families dreamed of — the oikos, the home, at the heart of our community. Through the Capital Campaign, we now build what gives it life: the courtyard where our polis gathers, and the fields where our scholars pursue arete — excellence earned, in body and spirit. See how far we've come, then help us finish the story.
Building the Upper School: Phase 2
What is the next chapter for our campus?
Having completed Phase 1, we now turn to Phase 2 — the work that transforms an Upper School building into a true Upper School experience. Phase 2 will deliver:
-
the Upper School courtyard, the gathering heart of student life
-
a Competition Soccer Field
-
a Gymnasium
-
and Track and Field Facilities
These spaces will serve not only our Upper School athletes, but provide gathering spaces for all K-12 scholars and their families.
Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2026. This is the most ambitious building effort in the Foundation's history, and it will define athletics, community, and campus life for a generation of Owls to come.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
This community space is reminiscent of ancient Greece. This outdoor space will serve as a cultural hub, bringing our community together for performances, assemblies, and gatherings under the open sky.
Explore the depths of academic excellence across two floors, complemented by a diverse selection of electives, sculpting unique pathways to success for every scholar.
Are naming opportunities available?
Yes. The Capital Campaign offers a rare and meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy at Socrates Academy. From the gymnasium and athletic fields to the courtyard and individual spaces within it, naming opportunities are available at a range of levels — for families, alumni, businesses, and friends who wish to be permanently woven into the story of our school. To explore naming a space, we invite you to contact the Foundation directly for a personal conversation.
