Supporting VIMS: Capital Campaign

Capital Campaign

2006 has started out to be the best year yet in the 41-year history of our school:

  • On February 15, we closed on the purchase of the adjacent 1.5-acre Sonne property and 10-room house, representing a 30% increase in our campus size.

  • We have recently adopted the distinguished International Baccalaureate program for our Upper School, which will be implemented starting in the 2006-2007 school year.

With the immediate need for an Upper School building met, we are focusing on the following needed capital investments:

  • Scholarships and tuition financial aid for deserving students at all levels
  • Student program development
  • Professional enrichment
  • Campus enhancements, including updating computer and library capabilities, and specialty laboratory spaces
  • Infrastructure and grounds improvements
  • Creation of an endowment fund to ensure our long term financial strength

A Master Plan Executive Committee has been formed to evaluate our current campus infrastructure, and how to utilize it to its maximum potential (which includes a permanent Upper School facility), as well as re-evaluating and restructuring of our current school facilities. Recommendations from this committee for our future facility needs are expected in several months.

We are continuing to solicit pledges for our Capital Campaign. Pledges may be made in installments over a period of up to four years. We are happy to accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express credit cards. Pledge form (PDF)
