PROBLEM:

The parishioners of Idaho’s largest Catholic Church wanted to have their own Parochial School.

SOLUTION:

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise has constructed its first school in 30-years at Idaho’s largest and fastest growing parish – Holy Apostles Catholic Church in Meridian, Idaho.

St. Ignatius Catholic School is a Pre-K / 8 facility.  The school’s education program centers around group collaboration.  The floor plan is arranged into four zones or pods: Pre-K / Kindergarten, 1st / 3rd, 4th / 6th, and 7th / 8th (Junior High).  The Corridors have been widen to 20-feet to create on large Breakout Area within each pod.  Majority of each teaching station utilizes 10-foot wide glass sectional garage doors that allows instruction to occur outside each classroom – a 21st Century teaching model.

The plan also centers around a combined Commons / Cafeteria just outside the school’s Gymnasium that is planned to be utilized by the Parish for after hour functions.

The 56,000 SF school opened in the August of 2017 at a cost of $11.9 million.
