In order to fulfill our mission to provide the most outstanding educational experience possible, and to remain competitive with other local schools, we must improve our facilities. We recognize that the value of an ACDS education is about more than the quality of the building; however the critical need for additional space and improved facilities limits the ability of our talented faculty to provide a full array of developmentally appropriate athletic and creative arts programs.
The Fulfilling Our Vision Campaign is the culmination of twenty-five years of planning for the needs of ACDS, not just for today, but for the next decade. This campaign is designed to transform our School in critical ways and will provide six key elements:
-
A central dining hall for students and faculty.
-
Renovation of the existing gym into a dedicated performing arts center and school auditorium.
-
A new gymnasium with a regulation-sized basketball court.
-
New resource rooms for tutoring.
-
Additional office and storage space for teachers and staff.
- Creation of an endowment fund for facility maintenance.
"While we seek to improve the quality of our facilities, we do not intend to stray from the core values and mission that have always been the hallmark of Alexandria Country Day School. And though we expect that the addition of these facilities will help us successfully recruit, admit and retain students in all grades in the future, the essence of what sets ACDS apart from other schools will remain unchanged, just as it has since 1983." Alexander Harvey IV, Head of School
