As the school year comes to a close, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you regarding the progress on our new building.

First and foremost, we passed our Department of Buildings inspection earlier this week! This milestone follows our successful Fire Department inspection last month. Together, these approvals place us in full control of the remaining permitting process, and we now expect to receive the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) sometime in July, well ahead of even our most optimistic timeline from January.

We’d like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to Christophe and Jan, who have been incredibly responsive throughout the process and helped ensure the school’s operations didn’t hinder progress. We are also deeply appreciative of our builder, L&K, and our landlord, Colliers, for executing this project with professionalism and efficiency.

In addition to these formal milestones, we’re happy to report that the main phase of construction is expected to wrap up in the next few days. We’ll then begin the final stages—finishing work and punch list items. At this point, the only major tasks remaining are paintwork on the ground level and installation of the gym flooring.

Even more exciting: our new space is now fully functional, including features like security cameras and a digital entry system. While you can already get a sense of the wonderful new environment, there is still work ahead to make this building feel as warm and welcoming as our current school. That process begins next week when we move many of our belongings into the new space.

And a small but symbolic milestone—we’ve officially been handed the keys. A moment worth savoring!

We cannot wait to welcome you into our new home, fully outfitted and ready for the next school year.
