As members of our Ridley community, you know that “The Ridley Difference” is real and tangible. Our outstanding educational environment, coupled with our commitment to wellbeing and positive education, make us a global leader in educating young minds.
Today, however, we have a pressing need to recreate and update parts of our campus, to provide tomorrow’s students with academic infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities designed to support modern learning. Equally important, we need to ensure we can continue to attract the best and the brightest—through financial assistance, we can offer talented, deserving young minds the legacy of a world-class education.
In order to meet these needs, Ridley College has launched a $40 million capital campaign: The Campaign for Ridley will raise $30 million for capital projects and $10 million to grow our school’s endowment.
Ridley must keep pace with changing times by giving students opportunities to engage with the technologies that are already shaping our future, and creating student-centric spaces to support our exceptional programmes. At the same time, we need to support and encourage the creativity that leads to innovation—be it through digital arts, fine arts or music.
But we can only succeed in our vision if we maintain the calibre of young minds who walk through the Marriott Gates. For many promising students, the opportunity to benefit from a Ridley education—regardless of financial means—will depend on the health of our endowment. It is vital that we substantially increase our current endowment, in order to maintain consistently strong enrollment each year, and to ensure that Ridley remains a diverse community, accessible to gifted and ambitious students.
We encourage you to support these exciting initiatives, and to help us build a strong Ridley for tomorrow.
