The school is located on the grounds of High Point Friends Meeting at 800 Quaker Lane in central High Point. Its main building is the Honbarrier Educational Center, a brick, Georgian Revival-style building that includes a media center/library and classrooms for lower and middle school classes. The campus includes a gymnasium with two rock climbing walls named after the teacher Adam Worley,[2] a theater stage, gardens tended by middle school students and a small soccer field.
