St. Matthew's Parish School Shares Vision for Future Campus
Community Event Showcases Detailed Site Plans and Renderings for Campus Restoration
In a gathering filled with excitement, families, faculty, and parishioners came together to hear about the comprehensive plans for St. Matthew’s Parish School and its expected return to its Pacific Palisades campus. This event highlighted the aftermath of significant challenges faced after a devastating fire impacted the area.
During the meeting held at the temporary campus, Head of School Alley Michaelson along with the School's Campus Development Partner Will McGregor from The McGregor Group, presented architectural blueprints and visuals showcasing a vision of what the campus will look like upon reoccupation in 2026.
"Today is a significant milestone on our path home," stated Michaelson. "Each child returning will benefit from completely new classroom spaces, whether within existing structures or brand new temporary classrooms that uphold our mission and standards. Significant upgrades will be pivotal in providing a quality learning environment."
The strategic plan for their return in Fall 2026 prioritizes minimizing construction's impact on the students and preserving the natural beauty that has always symbolized St. Matthew's as a home for education. Temporary classrooms for the Early Childhood program up to First Grade will be developed, facilitating a learning environment that remains largely undisturbed during the broader campus redevelopment.
Michaelson mentioned the commitment to community health, stating, "Our task force diligently sought the finest professionals, exceeding standard protocols to ensure the quickest and safest return possible." Their proactive measures have included comprehensive testing of the grounds for several months, overseen by a dedicated task force.
Equipped with advanced air safety technology, including HEPA vacuum cleaning and high-efficiency air filters, every interior space will be optimized for safety and cleanliness. This reflects the School's unwavering commitment to maintaining a secure learning environment.
Enthusiastic about the transition, Michaelson expressed gratitude for the community's support: "I remain inspired by our promising future, made possible by the incredible resilience and dedication of our community. We aim to blend our storied history with modern facilities that will enhance academic excellence and provide a joyful, safe learning atmosphere for future generations. This goes beyond mere rebuilding; it’s about revitalizing the heart of our community."
As preparations for the Fall 2026 return continue, St. Matthew's remains dedicated to fostering a nurturing educational atmosphere at its temporary sites in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles, which are being transformed to meet the diverse academic needs of its students.
