Our City Block Campus
Located in the heart of historic Downtown Durham
CPSC is reimagining the physical spaces where learning happens. Our children’s hands-on learning environment is the most dynamic textbook for learning possible. Our vision for a City Block Campus will create flexible, child-centered classrooms designed for collaboration, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and adaptable furniture.
Outdoor learning stations, gardens, creative play structures, and art installations will transform the surrounding neighborhood into an interactive, educational zone. These innovations will serve as a model for schools nationwide, demonstrating how thoughtful design can enhance learning and community engagement.

Inspiring Student Creativity
CPSC combines the best of Progressive Education to inspire student creativity with New Urbanism design that unleashes human connection, health and well-being in city design. In July 2024, our learning campus will be unified on one city block as we will move into the current TROSA and former North Durham Graded School Building. This move will better position us to design the most inspiring campus for our students to discover a joy for learning that lasts a lifetime. Our magical power as a K-8 learning community is in our daily priority to elevate the whole child through play and project based learning in a child-centered community, using the best research to guide our decisions.
