In 1987, the Church in the Forest was established in Erdman Memorial Chapel on the Pebble Beach campus, initially with both Episcopalian and Methodist chaplains.
Robert Ricklefs (May 23, 1909 – 20 May 1985) served as headmaster until he retired in 1970; he was succeeded by Gordon Davis, during whose term (1970–1982) the school opened its doors to girls as day students (1976).
The building is decorated with plush rugs and also features an amphitheater stage, which hosts school assemblies and concerts.
In 2018 a new building located in the northern area of the campus began construction for Flik Dining Services to prepare and serve lunch.
This replaced the previous playground which consisted of 4 swings, monkey bars, a wooden house, and a central structure with slides and bridges.
