Narducci Learning Center

  • The Narducci PreK-8 Learning Center opened to students in the fall of 2023. The Narducci PreK-8 Learning Center serves as a district-wide swing space and is an example of 21st-century education space that is set to transform the teaching and learning experience for students and staff for the 2023-24 school year and beyond.

    Providence Public School District (PPSD), RIDE, and the City of Providence are hard at work investing in upgrading school buildings, classrooms, and learning spaces across the district. The average age of a Providence Public School building is almost 75 years, with many buildings over 100 years old. The Narducci project is part of a $600+ million long-term facilities plan to upgrade Providence Public Schools and raise the percentage of students learning in high-quality learning spaces from just 5% to 50%. The funding for the $600 million plan to rebuild Providence Public Schools comes in part from local and state school construction bonds passed by voters. Funding for Narducci was made available by a 2018 bond and was approved by RIDE in 2019.
