Sunnyvale Intermediate School
Sunnyvale, Texas
Fall 2019
Sunnyvale ISD’s new intermediate school, built to support innovative learning, serves 600 students in grades 3-5. Divided into three small learning communities, or “houses,” each has nine classrooms on two floors, breakout spaces, and small group rooms. Students remain in the same house for their three years, creating a close-knit community. These houses surround a central commons area that includes a media center and dedicated spaces for art, science, music, and special education. The school’s public side houses administration, a bright cafeteria, and a gymnasium designed as a storm shelter.
