3. Project History How did we get here? • We needed more space and autonomy • In 2009 a concerted effort began to identify a larger facility that could either be leased or owned. • We sought a site that fit our needs • After nearly two years of vetting options, in 2011 a conclusion was reached to pursue the former St. Peter’s Episcopal Church at 6000 Wayne Ave. After some initial design analysis, we also determined that additional space was needed and commenced a strategy to also secure access to the adjacent 6024 Wayne Ave property. • We considered multiple ways to finance the project? • WSP and its supporters considered scenarios ranging from a direct sales agreement with the Episcopal Diocese to working with developers in order to secure and renovate the buildings at a cost that we could afford. • We decided to engage developer to reach our goals • After much consideration, it was clear that purchasing and renovating the property was beyond our means. • Eventually, Ken Weinstein, owner of Philly Retail Space, was engaged. He agreed to purchase the property and renovate the buildings to our specifications. He will lease 6000 Wayne property to WSP with the option to buy. • A similar arrangement with 6024 Wayne LLC was established to renovate and lease the adjacent 6024 property in order to serve our early education programs. • We redesigned the buildings to meet our specifications New School Updates

4. Project Facts A Brief History • St. Peter’s Episcopal Church was and still is an architectural gem. The buildings were designed by the renowned architects George Hewitt and Frank Furness whose designs can be seen throughout the region. In 1985 it was added to the historic registry. The buildings are also featured in a forthcoming book Abandoned America by Matthew Christopher. Interestingly St. Peter’s was one of only a few properties in the book that is being renovated and reused - saving a piece of history and sustaining our environment by reusing an incredibly strong existing structure. • Much the the same can be said of the adjacent 6024 structure which fortunately shares the same aesthetics as St. Peter’s enabling it to merge seamlessly into our overall school design.
