When Hill Country Day School opens later this year, students will spend the majority of their school day outside immersed in nature.

Situated on 5. 5 acres, Founder Haleigh Almquist said construction of the school is expected to be complete in late September or early October.

The school building has eight classrooms to serve infants through pre-K 4, and the property will include walking trails, a splash pad, two playgrounds, an outdoor classroom, garden beds and a large outdoor porch.
