We worked with Fenton Charter Schools in redeveloping an existing 49,000 sf warehouse into this k-5 elementary school. Fenton Academy Charter School is organized into two schools representing two different types of education. The east side of the building represents the Fenton Leadership Academy: Center for Social and Emotional Learning for grades K-2, while the west side of the building houses the Fenton STEM Academy for grades 3-5. The two schools are separated by a central core that includes shared administration offices and a multipurpose room. The education at Fenton Leadership Academy is supported by Yale University, which monitors how teaching social and emotional competencies affects academic progress and achievement.
