Adapting for the Future
This initiative will enhance the Foxcroft experience by creating both learning and community environments that better reflect our adaptive, collaborative, interdisciplinary, and hands-on programming. To continue as a leader in girls education, we need flexible spaces that allow us to provide the transformational education we are known for in new and evolving ways.- Our current programming has outpaced and is outgrowing the spaces we currently have.
- Learning environments should evolve and better reflect our adaptive, collaborative, interdisciplinary, and hands-on programming. This is how girls learn best.
- Provide resources for careers that don’t exist yet; adapt to evolving opportunities for women and career trajectories.
-
Financial Responsibility
Schoolhouse is at the precipice of financial burden. Soon, it will cost far more to maintain the building than it would to re-invigorate. To remain good stewards of the gifts and support from generations of donors before, we must improve the function of our main academic building, the heart of our campus, to keep pace with the growth and advancement of our other buildings and of our academic program.- Schoolhouse is becoming more expensive to fix, than to renovate.
- We need to be good stewards of the gifts/support that has come before us
-
Staying Competitive
It will allow Foxcroft to continue to attract students and teachers of brilliance, personality, and enterprise, as well as provide them the resources they need to excel.- Continue to attract the right kind and number of applicants.
- Recruit bright minds as educators.
- Provide the resources for faculty and students alike to excel.
