Jefferson School

Located in rural Sussex County, Delaware, The Jefferson School sits on 43 wooded acres adjacent to the Redden State Forest. The campus is an ecological treasure, with two ponds, trails with five family fitness stations, a garden, greenhouse, a five-member goat tribe, numerous chickens, and a bee observation window. The school cultivates alliances with regional partners to build a nature-centered, hands-on curriculum for its students. Inspired by the elegant simplicity of the local agricultural vernacular, the new building creates a nature-centered, hands-on educational facility.
