The Spanish Colonial Revival main building was designed by Tucson architect Merritt Starkweather.

[2] Greenway built a house in 1928 at the northwest corner of the site in a style that set the overall character of the hotel complex with stuccoed walls and a tiled roof.

The interiors feature plain white walls with corbeled arches connecting major rooms.

The property also had on it a large pool built by a previous owner, James Wheeler, which would be used by the school throughout its existence.

Subjects taught at the school included Latin, drama, history, math, French, music, art, science and English.

The pupils also had available to them a two-year course in the study of the Bible and Biblical history and Spanish and German could be taken with special arrangements.

Individual swimming and tennis lessons were offered to students and occasional ski trips to Mt.
