King David High School is an independent school that fuses Judaic traditions with provincial curriculum. Internal organization is distinctly linear with functional spaces bookending a double-height multipurpose space. The central gathering area is the symbolic heart of the building and serves as sanctuary, assembly hall and social lounge. The expansive daylit space is open to view, reinforcing its unique cultural and spiritual presence and strengthening connectivity of the students to their school, community and culture. An allegorical biblical garden cascades down to an outdoor sports court and landscaped mound where students play, socialize and muse.
