Why this Campaign?

Now is a transformational moment in the history of Catlin Gabel School that will allow the school and this community to soar today and into the future.

The campaign ensures our tradition of progressive education continues for generations to come—an education where inclusion and kindness matter, where there is a commitment to character-building, integrity, and courage, where teachers have access to the resources they need to provide a personalized approach to learning, and where students from across the city discover their unlimited potential.
