“As we were thinking about the future of education, the World Economic Forum did a survey in 2019 about the attributes in future employees that future employers will want,” Stout says. The campus also boasts multipurpose and practice fields, a track, and tennis courts.Īfter nine school years in the district that included administrative stints at Lower Merion’s other two middle schools, Stout has the good fortune of opening the doors to Black Rock’s 1,100 fifth-through eighth-graders. Gone are traditional classrooms, replaced by flexible spaces for large-group and small-group instruction and student collaboration. In the “heart” of the facility, students can congregate and socialize. The new building will feature multiple gyms and a theater with retractable seating. And it’s filled with the sort of features one might find at an independent school. It makes perfect sense that Stout would have great affection for Black Rock-and not just because she draws a paycheck from the school district that spent $90 million (give or take) to build it.
