May 2006

On May 22, the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve our final land development plan for the new campus. This approval opens the way for us to obtain the remaining permits necessary to begin work this summer and keeps us on target to open the new campus in the fall of 2008.

The importance of this approval cannot be overstated. It is the culmination of more than five years of work by our master planning committee, architects, legal team, faculty and staff, and Board of Trustees. At the conclusion of Monday’s meeting, several of the supervisors spoke of the professionalism and expertise of all of those involved with this project.

With this approval, and the capital campaign already halfway to our $90 million goal, we are clearly on our way to Newtown Square.



April 2006

At the April 13th meeting of the Newtown Township Planning Commission, the group voted unanimously to move the final land development plan for the Newtown Campus on to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.


November 2005

On Nov. 28th, the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors granted approval of our Preliminary Land Development Plan for the new campus.

We will now move on to finalizing the building designs and satisfying the other conditions precedent to submission of a Final Land Development Plan for approval.

For more detailed information on the hearing, see this story published by the News of Delaware County on Wednesday, November 30th.


October 2005

From the Head of School:

Last Tuesday, October 18th, the Newtown Township Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the township's board of supervisors approval of Episcopal's preliminary development plan for the Newtown Square campus. Although it is early in the process, we are pleased with our reception and the recommendation of the commission.

You may recall that the zoning classification of the land is residential and that a non-profit school is permitted only by special exception. Two years ago, the Newtown Township Zoning Hearing Board granted our request for that special exception, which was the first step in the approval process. Prior to Tuesday's action, the Delaware County Planning Commission favorably reviewed our preliminary development plan.

Our design team of professionals has completed the schematic design phase of the buildings and is into design development. We still have a number of levels of approval ahead of us, but we are on our way!
