The New Teaching and Learning Commons
Our Teaching and Learning Commons opened its doors in September, transforming the heart of Rippowam Cisqua School. Spanning 4,400 square feet, the new space brings together a Writing Lab, flexible workshops for small-group instruction, a two-story Math Commons, classrooms, and faculty offices — all designed to spark curiosity and collaboration.
