Building on a Decade of Momentum

During the past 10 years, we’ve moved forward and up, making steady improvements to all aspects of life and learning at Williston Northampton School and strengthening our position as exemplars in the boarding-school world. As we embark upon Williston Builds, this powerful momentum is our springboard, inspiring us to continue the good work of a decade by building an even greater Williston.

Our campaign goal is ambitious, but rooted in the progress the school has made in recent years, all focused toward Community, Access and Belonging, Academic Excellence, and Momentum in support of annual giving to the Williston Northampton Fund. These important priorities will not only position the school for the future, but also make sure that students head out into the world to lead lives of purpose, passion, and integrity.

Every Gift Supports the Campaign!

We aim to stand taller while remaining squarely who we are—helping Williston hold true to its values while emerging as the best possible version of itself. Through Williston Builds, we will double down in support of our remarkable students and faculty. We invite you to join the alumni and parents making a difference to our entire community as we imagine and build Williston’s future together.
