Set among second-growth trees, forest wetlands, and with sweeping territorial views, the Marysville Getchell campus is a school that excites a student's senses with an innovative learning environment.

DLR Group's design of the new high school enables great flexibility in the administration of student-focused learning. Responding to the District's adoption of a new, small learning community (SLC) model, the design arranges four, independent SLC buildings around a central Campus Commons. Within each SLC building, a series of interconnected learning spaces support the educational approach described by the District's Five Guiding Principles: Relationships at the Center, Focused Learning, Identity and Purpose, Community, and Accountability.

Generous glazing and intriguing outdoor learning spaces create sense of connection to nature and community. It's this openness and connectivity that make every space a learning space at Marysville Getchell, and which encourages student growth as global citizens.
