Our new CUP application follows their example, working through each question to find thoughtful and balanced solutions by bringing past lessons to bear, working hard to regain trust and creating accountability while we move forward with the next steps in our application process. What are those steps? The city of Palo Alto deemed our application complete in April, and now we are awaiting the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR). This review, overseen by the city, will assess the impact of the project on many levels, including a careful examination of the projections about traffic patterns and the underground parking structure. Open hearings with the Planning and Transportation Commission and the Architectural Review Board will follow, offering additional opportunities to reflect and respond. While we work through these stages, I invite community members to share thoughts with me or Associate Head of School Kathy Layendecker at [email protected]; attend one of our community meetings; or visit our website () for complete, accurate and up-to-date details about our plan.
[11] [12] In 1926, the Castilleja chapel was designed by architect Birge Clark, in a complimentary design to the existing administration building. [12] In 2007, Castilleja celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding. [11] Expansion proposal [ edit] In 2016, Castilleja announced its intentions to build an underground parking garage and new buildings to increase enrollment to 540 students. Because of the scale of the proposed development in an R1 zoned neighborhood, the project has experienced considerable opposition among neighboring residents. [13] [14] One concern has been traffic impact. [15] As of 2020, the school has still not yet been able to find a compromise regarding the expansion. [16] Recognition [ edit] Castilleja is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, the National Coalition of Girls' Schools, and the College Board. In late 2007, the Wall Street Journal identified Castilleja School as one of the world's top 50 schools for its success.
Castilleja is just one of many places for girls to receive an excellent education in this community. For some girls, though, Castilleja is the best place for them to become the bravest, most joyful and most innovative versions of themselves. Our new CUP application relies heavily on experiences from the past, is attuned to our community's needs and builds a future of possibilities for these girls. Nanci Kauffman is head of Castilleja School. She can be emailed at [email protected]
We have since taken steps to reduce the student body and our daily traffic, but that does not excuse the past in any way. I remain deeply sorry, both about the over-enrollment and about the betrayal. Even with the regrets I have, it is incumbent on me to acknowledge that our academic buildings, built in the 1960s, lack the flexibility needed for today's student-centered, project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum. That is why Castilleja School has filed an application to replace our current classroom buildings with modern and energy-efficient learning spaces that will meet our needs for the future while blending more gently with our neighborhood's aesthetic. In our application, we have not requested an increase in our above-ground square footage, nor have we asked to exceed current height limits. We propose an underground garage to minimize traffic and parking on neighborhood streets, preserve Spieker Field along Embarcadero Road and create additional green space. Finally, we hope to increase our high school enrollment by 25-27 students per year until we reach a total enrollment of 540, providing opportunity to an even more diverse group of girls.
