Bright Bold Next Campaign

Bright Bold Next: Transforming BB&N’s 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.

The campaign is designed to propel BB&N into the future with an emphasis on  community, innovation, and the student experience.

Financial Aid

Financial aid allows us to promote socioeconomic diversity in all grades. When students bring different backgrounds and perspectives to campus, our education becomes more expansive and open to bright ideas and bold solutions.

Innovation

Our commitment to innovation ensures that educational practices stay cutting edge. Our funding supports initiatives like the Class of 2023 Visiting Innovator Program, the BB&N Leadership Institute, the Action Research Program, and Innovation Grants.

LS Renovation

The Lower School renovation is ensuring students have the learning environment they need to reach their potential. Every design decision has been made through the lens of pedagogy.

BB&N Fund

The BB&N Fund meets pressing needs and keeps us agile and flexible. It stands as a testament to our institutional strength and the commitment of our community.

Grove Street Campus

Thanks to generous support from early donors, BB&N opened its newest athletic campus during the 2022 Homecoming Weekend. The Grove Street Athletic Campus is located in Watertown, MA.

Our Progress to Date

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.

We are always asking: are we maximizing our potential? Are we giving our students a transformative experience? Are we giving our teachers the space and support they need to do their best work? Are we evolving to meet new needs? Are we sustaining what makes us strong? This campaign says–loudly, proudly–yes.
