propelling BB&N into the future with an emphasis on community, innovation, and the student experience
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.”
True educational excellence at BB&N requires socioeconomic diversity, ensuring the brightest students can attend regardless of their financial capacity. Your crucial support of our financial aid funds directly empowers these students, enriching the entire learning environment with expansive ideas and bold solutions for the future.
To guarantee that educational practices remain cutting-edge and future-focused, BB&N must continuously invest in programmatic innovation and faculty research. Your vital contribution will directly fund key initiatives like the Visiting Innovator Program and Innovation Grants, ensuring our students are prepared to lead in a rapidly changing world.
The Lower School renovation is a critical investment that provides our youngest students with a modern, adaptable learning environment, designed entirely through the lens of pedagogy. Your support will ensure every child has the optimal space, from collaborative hubs to new classrooms, to reach their full potential and thrive at BB&N.
The BB&N Fund is the most vital source of flexible support, meeting our immediate pressing needs and ensuring the school remains agile throughout the academic year. Your gift demonstrates a commitment to our institutional strength, directly sustaining the exceptional faculty, classroom resources, and critical programs that impact every student today.
Thanks to generous early donor support, the Grove Street Athletic Campus is now fully operational, providing a new athletic facility that fulfills the vision for our student-athletes. Continued investment is essential to maintain this new addition and ensure every BB&N athlete benefits from the best possible training and competition environment for years to come.
The Bright Bold Next Campaign is designed to propel BB&N into the future with an emphasis on community, sustainability, and innovation. We continue to move forward in the soft launch phase of our fundraising.
