Provide for an Enduring National Cathedral School
Strong financial health is a necessary foundation of fulfilling our long-term mission. NCS’s financial outlook is healthy, thanks to strong enrollment and fiscally responsible stewardship of tuition and philanthropic dollars. To allow NCS to further bolster its leadership position in an increasingly competitive educational landscape, the time is right to embark on a campaign to increase the school’s endowment.
This strategic plan builds upon the accomplishments of its predecessors, which were made possible through philanthropy. A recent example is the completion in 2017 of the school’s Master Facilities Plan through the Educating Women for the World Campaign, which provided a new library, science labs, performing and assembly spaces, and Grace Chapel. Such community-wide investment in NCS’s strategic priorities has advanced the school in immeasurable ways, and we will keep our focus in the years ahead on continuing this proud legacy.
