A message from the City Garden School Board President:

Capital Campaign Update:

Around 2021, City Garden embarked on a journey to establish a campus. That journey has already had plenty of twists and turns. And while the growth of our program continues to be strong, the capital campaign is currently on pause. Here’s why:

The development of this project coincided with a steep increase in building materials as well as numerous adjustments and refinements to both plans and budget. For anyone unfamiliar with construction, that means: the project got considerably more expensive along the way. While many community members in and around the industry were amazingly helpful with their resources and time. It became clear that without one or more founding-level benefactors, we needed to put the capital campaign on hold until such time as we have more funding specifically allocated for this project.

While the campaign was active, so many community members pledged their donations for this dream and City Garden is so grateful to every person who donated. Those donations enabled us to secure  architectural drawings (shown below) which the school can utilize in the future. This dream of our future campus has not gone away and we look forward to continuing to imagine and invest in the future of City Garden School. 

Perhaps most importantly, and particularly poignant for a school sometimes held in the forest - the greatest education happens in the mind. At City Garden, that education extends to the hands and the heart. While a building would be and will be wonderful, it is what happens inside that building that really matters. We are confident that these elements are strong, wherever our teachers and students gather. 

If you or someone you know would like to talk about a future campus or the capital campaign, please reach out to either our Head of School or any member of the Board of Directors. 

Sincerely,

Morgen Sharp

City Garden School Board President
