Boundless: The Campaign For The Benjamin School
is a unique opportunity for your family to help propel our school to the next level, where the opportunities for growth, education, and future success are truly without limits. By donating, you are not just investing in Benjamin; you are contributing to the limitless potential of every student who walks through our doors including your own children.
Let’s explore the exciting plans for our campuses.
LOWER/MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS
LOWER/MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS
We are excited to modernize several buildings on our Lower/Middle School campus. A new Lower School Office Building allows us to house all of our Lower School staff under one roof for the first time and includes a new clinic and meeting space. The new Middle School Building will provide state-of-the-art spaces that match the innovative teaching that has taken place in the current classrooms for decades. Finally, a Student Union and Dining Hall will feed over 800 students daily and serve as a community hub for our campus community. In addition, we will maintain the natural charm of our school by preserving outdoor spaces and greenery.
“The new clinic will be larger and more modern, allowing us to support students more efficiently. Its improved integration with the Lower School office will further enhance our ability to provide seamless care,” said Head Nurse, Brandi Hobbs.

BOUNDLESS OPPORTUNITIES
When we talk about boundless opportunities, we envision a learning environment where every student is empowered to explore their passions and talents without limitations. The funds raised will support the development of new state-of-the-art facilities on both campuses
UPPER SCHOOL CAMPUS
UPPER SCHOOL CAMPUS
Though our Upper School campus is just 17 years old, continued growth – especially in Arts and Innovation – calls for expanded learning and gathering spaces. Our architect has proposed exciting additions to support the next generation of students.
These enhancements will create room to innovate, collaborate, and build school spirit across campus.
“There is a lot of buzz lately, and students and teachers are talking about the new dining hall. I’m excited to see what the meals are! It will also open opportunities for the school to host events and make it easier to serve or cater events.” – Max Walsh `28

BOUNDLESS EDUCATION
Education at The Benjamin School has always been about more than just academics — it’s about nurturing the whole student. With the capital raised, we aim to enhance our curriculum and programs in all divisions.
SUPPORTING OUR FUTURE
SUPPORTING OUR FUTURE
$15,000,000 Endowment
Endowment is Benjamin’s savings account. Endowed gifts are part of the school’s donated pool of invested money where the principal is left untouched so it can achieve long-term growth. The return from those investments can be used to fund Benjamin’s operations, pay for special programming, or grow the endowment principal. The bigger the endowment, the more Benjamin can earn on annual distributions. Independent schools with the strongest endowments set the standards of educational excellence, push the frontiers of innovation, and sustain greatness over generations. Making a gift to endowment is an investment in Benjamin’s future.
To ensure long-term financial sustainability and greater accessibility, school leadership is committed to growing the endowment. Additional unrestricted and restricted funds will directly and indirectly benefit students, faculty, programming, and facilities by supporting the annual operating budget and reducing reliance on tuition. The Benjamin School is seeking $15 million in targeted endowment support for three key areas: faculty and programmatic excellence, financial aid, and unrestricted funds.
FACULTY & PROGRAMMATIC EXCELLENCE ENDOWMENT
FACULTY & PROGRAMMATIC EXCELLENCE ENDOWMENT
$5,000,000
The Benjamin School faculty consists of exceptional and dedicated teachers who are Benjamin’s most significant asset in educating our students to be leaders throughout their lives. In the 2024-2025 school year, TBS allocated 51% of its operating budget to faculty and staff salaries and benefits.
An endowed fund for faculty excellence will help attract and retain talented educators while providing school leadership with greater flexibility in allocating operating resources. Your investment in this endowment would help offset inflationary increases in salaries, provide one-time bonuses, defray escalating housing costs for teachers, and help us provide world-class continuing education for our faculty.
If you have a specific educational area or a teacher you are passionate about, endowing faculty chairs establishes a continuing legacy for donors, while sending a strong message of support regarding those responsible for instructing, counseling, and coaching our students.
Lastly, if there’s a specific subject area in our curriculum that interests you, programmatic endowments are a powerful way to ensure the exemplary educational programs at Benjamin continue to thrive.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ENDOWMENT
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ENDOWMENT
$5,000,000
One of the goals outlined in the strategic plan focuses on enrolling well-rounded students from diverse backgrounds with the academic and leadership potential to thrive in the Benjamin community and beyond. Donors who give to this important fund are helping qualified students receive full or partial financial aid and necessary ancillary items to participate in the Benjamin community.
By investing in this endowment, you are directly impacting the life of a child who may not otherwise be able to attend the school while helping to promote a diverse and inclusive community at TBS.
Unrestricted Endowment
Unrestricted Endowment
$5,000,000
Unrestricted funds provide critical support to the school with the flexibility to be directed to the area of greatest need. Increasing the unrestricted endowment takes pressure off the annual operating budget while providing funds necessary to respond to unforeseen challenges.
