Kingdom Culture Christian School at Arncliffe is getting an innovative make-over.
The school's new building aims to quash the outdated classroom space, and is described by the school as Australia's first "entrepreneur school".
It has partnered with Fuse Architecture to deliver the design, which mirrors layouts typically seen at Apple headquarters.
Students will have access to breakout and open-plan learning spaces and digital classrooms, which aim to empower them with greater vision in applying technology to their everyday learning environment.
School founder, Ben Irawan, says the school is ahead of its time.
"Some research shows that up to 30 per cent of jobs will be filled through automation and the like over the next 10-15 years. So we need to think about education differently, preparing children not for tests but for the real world - a world that even we adults don't fully grasp due to rapid technological changes," he said.
"At our school we focus on crucial skills such as public speaking, entrepreneurial thinking, collaboration, critical thinking and investment management.
"Every morning a student will come to school and take part in a job in order to earn dollars, be it tidying up part of the classroom or closing the blinds. Students can even be promoted to teachers aide through hard work and initiative, just like in the real world."
"At the end of the week, the students can bank their hard earned money or spend it at the shop on snacks, cool drinks or even toys."
Director of Fuse Architecture, Rachid Andary, says that fun, experiential spaces made to inspire should not be exclusive to the start-ups and tech-giants of the world, and that the Australian schooling system needs a major shakeup.
"Just as it increases productivity and overall happiness at somewhere like Google, social and informal learning spaces that encourage sharing and collaboration is key to nurturing a curious and productive mind," he said.
"We need to get out of the shadow of the industrial school model and start thinking about what is best for the kids of today."
The new school building is set to be completed in the second half of 2020.
