Situated on a 55 acre campus adjacent to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Old Trail School’s buildings and grounds serve to facilitate, exhilarate and inspire.  As one follows the driveway off Ira Road and parks around the Circle, it is impossible to miss the graceful traditional architecture joined with the presence of children who make the bricks and mortar come alive.

To the right, Alderfer and Sisler-McFawn Halls house the primary grades, while to the left, Noble Hall and the Wilson Wing manage to comfortably contain the enthusiasms of third through eighth graders.  The Meyo Library and the Burton Morgan Building with its admission and development offices balance each other while Firestone Hall (recently renovated) in the middle brings the school community together at lunch, in the swimming pool and gymnasium, and watching performing arts presentations.

Incorporated within these buildings are two computer labs; a state-of-the-art science wing, art facilities including pottery and fabrics room;, offices for support staff; a nurse’s station;, separate spaces for general music, band, orchestra, and piano lessons; a parents association room and school store; a local artist’s studio; and various nooks and crannies where children are tutored and small groups of students meet.

Coupled with the buildings lie playing fields for soccer, field hockey, softball and tennis, as well as age-appropriate playgrounds.  An outdoor amphitheater provides space for contemplation and discussion as do tables and benches scattered across the campus.
