OLP ’ s Boundless Journey
Meeting the Needs of 21st Century Learners
Esther Sanfilippo Navarra Hall
With the reopening of a 40,000 square foot renovation at the Academy of Our Lady of Peace ( OLP ), the school celebrates a milestone with the completion of Phase I , a project more than 20 years in the making . Esther Sanfilippo Navarra Hall and the Shiley Center for Science and Innovation have been renovated to better meet the needs of their 21st Century learners and are now open for the 2020-2021 school year .
With the support of the school ’ s incredible community of donors , including well-known San Diego philanthropists Darlene Shiley and Ann Navarra , OLP raised more than $ 11 million to make essential upgrades to infrastructure and facilities to ensure that OLP can educate girls for generations to come .
“ At OLP , we are ever restless in not settling for what was done , but searching for what our girls will need for today and tomorrow . In our rapidly changing world , that need for evolution in pursuit of excellence is always shifting ,” Dr . Lauren Lek , Head of School shared with GB Magazine .
