May 23, 2024 <br />Pate 2 <br />a. The Property uniquely meets the needs of the applicant with many of the <br />characteristics sought after for development of a school. <br />Adjacent to the City's Wyncrest neighborhood, the Project seeks to address the need for <br />accessible educational and spiritual facilities while reinvigorating an existing industrial building <br />within the community. The unique layout of Property within the existing office complex allows <br />for the school and church to function in concert with the surround office uses while integrating a <br />new use that is also consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. <br />b. Serving the City and its Community are at the heart of the School's <br />mission. <br />The School's mission is to encourage the next generation of students to live in faith, build moral <br />character and leadership and while encouraging a strong sense of social responsibility. <br />Graduates engage in the regular rhythms of prayer, worship, reflection and study that sustain <br />one's spiritual life. School curriculum requires students to serve people in need beyond their <br />community and provides the opportunity to reflect on the spiritual benefits of being responsible <br />to and for others. Students are not only challenged academically but are driven to engage in <br />global challenges from a religious perspective. Students mature in their relationship with God in <br />a rigorous academic environment and grow to understand role of religion and spirituality in our <br />complex world. <br />Investment in and reuse of the Property will allow the School to function on one campus, and <br />the benefits of a single campus are significant. Having all grade levels on one campus allows <br />for a cohesive educational experience from early childhood through adolescence. This <br />continuity can facilitate smoother transitions between grade levels, fostering a sense of <br />community and shared purpose among students, teachers, and families. Consolidating <br />resources such as facilities, staff expertise, and support services can lead to more efficient <br />operations and cost savings. For example, specialized facilities like science labs, sports <br />facilities, and libraries can be shared among different grade levels, maximizing their utilization. <br />Older students can serve as role models and mentors for younger ones, fostering leadership <br />skills and a sense of responsibility, while younger students may benefit from interacting with <br />older peers and learning from their experiences. Similarly, the single -campus model can <br />facilitate the implementation of a holistic approach to education that considers students' <br />developmental needs across different age groups. Educators can coordinate curriculum, <br />teaching methodologies, and support services more effectively to address the diverse needs of <br />students at various stages of their educational journey. A one -campus approach also <br />meaningfully supports our families- having all children in the same location can simplify logistics <br />for families, reducing the challenges associated with transporting children to multiple campuses <br />for drop-off, pick-up, and extracurricular activities. <br />
