Bowman Learning Village (West Campus):

In 2019, Bowman families, staff, alumni, and friends contributed an astounding $3 million towards the "Discover. Create. Become." Capital Campaign. The Bowman Community has been deeply invested in our mission and values throughout the history of our school, and we are honored by their generosity and commitment.

The Learning Village enhances Bowman's campus and program in several key ways:

  • The IDEALab 
    provides students with a dedicated space for STEAM and enrichment activities, including a science and media lab, woodshop, and maker center.
  • The Children’s House 
    includes three- and four-year-olds in two multi-age classrooms with specially designed indoor and outdoor environments to set a foundation for future Bowman learners.
  • The Multi-Purpose Gymnasium 
    allows for hosting school-wide activities, on-site sports practices, and community events.
  • The Stage 
    expands our commitment to the performing arts as a means to stimulate students’ creativity, self-expression, and confidence.
  • Outdoor Learning Environments 
    offer open-ended interactions, exploration, discovery, and connection with nature through our science gardens, greenhouse, sunken learning circle, patios, walkways, and terraces.
