Excellence Access and
Belonging Momentum The Campaign For Our Community
Our Priorities
Williston Builds: The Campaign for Our Community focused on our student and faculty experience, enriched academic offerings in the classroom, and provided new and renewed spaces where learning will continue to thrive and lives will be transformed. The campaign allowed us to invest in belonging by supporting financial aid—broadening and deepening the pool of applicants we attract. It strengthened our community ties, creating a cozy home-away-from-home where memories are made, and lifelong friendships are forged. And it built on the momentum we had sustained for the past 10 years, propelling us into the next decade on firm financial footing.
Academic Excellence
Thanks to generous philanthropic support, we have developed new academic programming, created robust professional development for faculty, and expanded academic support for students from every background and learning style. Additional support will help attract and retain exceptional faculty, and invest in our academic spaces.
Access And Belonging
Financial aid funding attracts and assists talented students across the socioeconomic spectrum. It also prepares our students for lives of global citizenship and positive impact. But the cost of a Williston education goes well beyond tuition. By building support for supplemental aid, we ensure that all students feel a sense of belonging.
Community
Thanks to $20 million in generous philanthropic support during this campaign, Williston completed an iconic new Residential Quad featuring two new energy-efficient dormitories. The spacious, centralized quad strengthens the home-away-from-home nature of the Williston boarding school experience, while building connection and community.
