Brighton High School is planned for up to 600 students across years 7 to 12. Rather than treating the campus as a closed educational object, JAWSARCHITECTS makes indoor and outdoor learning part of the same spatial agenda.
The Jordan River / Kutalayna valley gives this agenda a larger geographic frame. It connects the high school to primary feeder schools upstream, allowing the project to read as one point in an existing educational landscape rather than an isolated destination.
This relationship shifts the emphasis from a singular school building to continuity: between age groups, between enclosed rooms and open-air study, and between the campus and the land that links its wider community.
