Seacoast Collegiate High School gives students a walkable connection to college while they’re still in high school. Located on a five-acre site next to Northwest Florida State College in Santa Rosa Beach, the campus supports a dual-enrollment program that allows students to move between high school and college classes.

Two academic buildings frame the Academic Green, the campus’s central gathering space. One serves ninth and tenth graders, and the other serves eleventh and twelfth graders, giving each age group a distinct home within the larger school. A future multipurpose building will mark the main entrance, while a network of walkways links the academic buildings to the neighboring college.

Classrooms and student commons overlook the green, and informal learning labs along circulation routes give students places to study independently or work together between classes. Shaded courtyards and terraces extend those opportunities outdoors, and a stage at one end of the green provides a place for the school to gather.

The buildings’ sculpted white stucco forms draw on the original 1996 Seaside Neighborhood School Lyceum, carrying the school’s architectural identity into its new campus. Deep overhangs and covered walkways provide shade from the Florida sun, making time outdoors a part of the school day.
