SCA Headmaster, Dr. Brian Dougherty says, “I am looking forward to the impact this project will have on our school. The additional facilities and the upgrades will help us better serve our current families as well as the future generations yet to come to SCA.”

All of the changes are intended to position SCA for the future, while unifying its two campuses into one location. The unification will improve the functionality of the school as a whole and allow for better use of staff talent and skill’s across the school as a whole.
