Join Our Capital Campaign

A Capital Campaign is a targeted fundraising effort that focuses on raising significant funds for large-scale, long-term projects like building renovations or expansions. Unlike the Annual Fund, which supports the school’s yearly operating expenses, the Capital Campaign is designed to fund improvements that will enhance the campus for years to come.

This building project was selected after careful consideration of the school’s most immediate needs, fundraising capacity, as well as site and permitting constraints. This new space will allow us to grow our student body, renovate existing spaces, and maintain our robust programming. This phase fits within our current approved site development, making it the most feasible first step in a long-term plan.

The building includes two distinct classrooms designed to reflect and give space for two important parts of our pedagogy and curriculum: practical arts, and science and technology. The classrooms measure 777 and 799 square feet, respectively, offering ample space for hands-on learning and creativity. For context, the size of these classrooms is similar to some of our existing spaces on campus, providing a familiar scale and establishing a refreshed aesthetic that ties to existing structures and creates a template for future additional buildings. The building will also house much-needed additional bathrooms for students, faculty, and staff.

This price is an all-inclusive budget, covering everything from the building’s steel frame and metal roof to multiple bathrooms, landscaping, and soft costs like architectural design, civil engineering, and permitting. The design reflects the unique Waldorf aesthetic, incorporating curved lines, varied window sizes and placements, and organic shapes, all of which connect students with the natural world, and add light, movement, and beauty while preserving the intimacy of the classroom. There have been multiple rounds of value engineering to maximize function and aesthetic while reducing costs. 

While the construction of the building has wrapped up, the funding for it is not yet complete. We will continue fundraising until we reach our $3 million goal.

This project directly supports our mission by creating an environment where students can thrive academically, artistically, and practically. The new spaces will enable us to continue offering a holistic Waldorf education while promoting sustainability, inclusivity, and beauty in the physical environment. This is more than a building—it’s an investment in the future of our community.
