Campus
Every family desires a school community where their children can truly belong, connect, and grow together—from their very first day of K4 to graduation. But when a school community must be split across different locations, families often feel disconnected and constantly on the move. The Geneva School desired a campus that allows your family to be together. That is why The Geneva School spent over a decade (2007–2022) executing a master plan to bring our entire student body together onto one vibrant, 40+acre campus. Beginning with purchasing the land, adding the athletic complex (2016), and opening Ingram Hall (upper school in 2019), the grammar school building (2022), and Riley Arena (2023). Today, every Geneva Knight—from K4 through 12th grade—learns, competes, and grows on one single campus. From our grammar school culminating events to the roaring crowds at Riley Arena, your child will experience an extraordinary education surrounded by a community that feels like family.
