propelling BB&N into the future
The Bright Bold Next Campaign is a transformative effort that’s reshaping BB&N from pre-K through grade 12. This is the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history, with a clear focus on community, innovation, and the student experience.
Thanks to early supporters, we have made incredible progress across all five initiatives: Lower School Renovation, Financial Aid Endowment, Innovation, The BB&N Fund, and the Grove Street Athletic Campus.
But this is just the beginning. To bring the full vision to life, from a reimagined Lower School to expanded financial aid to fostering innovation and a new athletic campus, we need the full strength of our community.
“As a BB&N alum and a current parent, I see this campaign through two lenses: immense pride in our past and a commitment to our future,” said Jason Hafler ’00, P’34, ’36, Trustee Chair. “Our vision for this campaign focuses on the total environment in which BB&N students learn and grow. By investing simultaneously in the Lower School, the Grove Street athletic fields, Innovation, and Endowment for Financial Aid, we are enriching the student experience. Our goal is to provide the physical space to explore, the creative tools to lead, surrounded by a diverse community of peers.”
Financial aid ensures talented, curious, mission-aligned students can attend BB&N regardless of financial circumstance. Our community of students with diverse backgrounds & perspectives cultivates deeper learning. Your support expands access while strengthening the experience for every student.
Innovation is a core part of BB&N culture. It allows students & faculty to explore new ideas and create meaningful work beyond the classroom. Your support fuels programs that turn ideas into impact. An investment in innovation is an investment in what is possible for our students and the future of learning.
The Lower School renovation provides our youngest students with a modern learning environment, designed entirely through the lens of pedagogy. Your support will ensure our spaces align with how students learn today.
The BB&N Fund is the most vital source of flexible support, closing the gap between tuition and the true cost of a BB&N education. Your support sustains exceptional faculty, classroom resources, and critical programs that impact every student.
Thanks to early donor support, the Grove Street Athletic Campus is fully operational, improving daily life for student-athletes and strengthening school spirit. Continued support expands its impact for the entire BB&N and Watertown public community.
The Bright Bold Next Campaign reinforces our commitment to elevating student experience, creating inspiring spaces, expanding opportunities, and driving innovation. We continue to move forward in the public phase of our fundraising.
