Sharwin Charter School Academy

National implementation of school choice legislation has created an unprecedented opportunity for educators, communities, and parents to develop progressive learning environments. Families of the Del Paso Heights community in Sacramento are working together with the Sharwin Charter School Board, Synthesis Partners, and the California Department of Education to create a new kind of learning environment for their children.

The Sharwin Charter School Academy will open a new seven-acre 700-student K-6 campus in the fall of 2004. This campus will include two-story classroom buildings, library and multi-purpose buildings for student and community use, and a child care center. Community involvement, expectations, and enthusiasm for this project are extremely high.

Synthesis Partners has worked closely with the community and school officials to create a national award-winning design for the creative integration of sustainable building design components into economical building construction methods. Comprehensive master planning and effective implementation of the architectural design elements unify and complete this award-winning school.
