• Our facilities are learning spaces with central gathering places - flexible structures for student communities to embrace our culture of learning. It is our goal in Lexington County School District One that each of our schools and supporting buildings:

    • Supports 21st century program and learning environment – flexible/collaborative/personalized
    • Inspires learning and engenders pride
    • “Feels like home” – welcoming and inviting
    • Mitigates stress and fatigue – places to relax
    • Fits “Green” standards
    • Engages families and the community
    • Enhances the community and surrounding environment

    We accomplish each of these criteria by creating learning environments according to FAC3ES:

    • Flexible - Learning not dependent on time and space
    • Adaptive - Individual needs addressed more effectively through personalized learning
    • Current - Content innovations and student-centric digital learning supported through mobile technology
    • Collaborative - Cross-functional teams, collaborative learning, and professional learning communities
    • Connected - Sense of belonging through nurturing and supportive relationships
    • Excellent - Students and staff strive for excellence in all endeavors
    • Sustainable/Innovative Facility Design - LEED Certification, recycling, and reducing waste (LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system.)
