of the highlights of Studio’s new building
are: a well-equipped library, state-of-the-art
science laboratory, gymnasium and theatre,
dance and music studio, sky-lit art room,
rooftop garden, sunny outdoor yard, and a modern
kitchen to complement our Kitchen Science program,
where children help to prepare healthy
lunches each day for the community.
