Campus Life
The Parish Midway campus is centered around a 337,000-square-foot (31,300 m2) academic building designed by the renowned architecture team of I.M. Pei & Henry N. Cobb. A former ExxonMobil office complex, the building and its 50 acres (200,000 m2) have transformed from research center to independent elementary and secondary school. The building’s atrium has become the cafeteria. Many of the classrooms overlook Farmers Branch Creek that flows along the north side of the campus. The two-story library has been retrofitted to better fit the needs of a student population. The new Upper School includes science labs, a teaching darkroom, Smart Boards in many classrooms, world languages labs, and a counseling center. Each faculty member enjoys an individual office. Surrounding this central building are new athletic facilities complete with a gymnasium, playing fields, and a stadium. The original Hillcrest Campus is located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Midway Road on the grounds of The Church of the Transfiguration. The Hillcrest campus houses the school's pre-k through grade 2 program.

“What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs?”
