New High School Building

Ambleside’s student population has grown by over 300% in the last 12 years. Much of this growth was in grades K4-4, and now those students are nearing high school. In the past, Ambleside High School served an average of 24 students in grades 9-12. That number is projected to grow to 40 by 2027 and 60 students by the Fall of 2029. To accommodate this growth, Ambleside is seeking funding for a new high school building. Design work is underway and will soon be available to the public, but the new building will include the following. 

  • A dedicated Science Lab/classroom

  • An Art Studio

  • Four General Education Classrooms

  • Study Center/Library

  • Administrative office space

  • Additional Boys, Girls, and Staff Bathrooms

Architectural Rendering Coming Soon

The Estimated Cost of the High School Building is $1,400,000

To fund this project, we are seeking:

  • One leading gift of $500,000

  • Two gifts of $250,000

  • Two gifts of $1o0,000

  • Two gifts of $50,000

  • Three gifts of $25,000

  • Many varied gifts adding up to $25,000

  • 100% of our school community (Board, Parents, and Staff) will need to contribute to this project for it to be considered a success.

If you are interested in discussing any of these giving opportunities, use the form below to set up a time to talk.

Additional School Van

Estimate Cost—$55,000

A living education must extend beyond the walls of the classroom. Ambleside takes students on over 50 field studies per year. To manage the demands of a growing school population, Ambleside is seeking funding for an additional school van.
