You make the difference.
What do you love most about Watkinson?
Perhaps it’s our commitment to seeing and celebrating each student’s authenticity. Perhaps it’s our dedication to the arts, global studies, learning skills, athletics, or interdisciplinary instruction. Perhaps it’s that welcoming feeling you get when you step foot on campus.
Whatever resonates most with you, your support has a transformative impact. Just as each student brings their unique fingerprint to Watkinson, each gift to our school helps create the extraordinary learning environment where students discover who they are. Your gift, whether to the Fund for Everyday Excellence, scholarships, the endowment, or to improve our beautiful campus grounds, directly touches the lives of our students and teachers. Like the tiles of a mosaic, each contribution helps create those powerful moments where meaningful learning comes alive and students are truly seen.
To everyone who believes in nurturing each student’s individual journey, thank you. You are helping Watkinson develop in each student the power to shape their lives and the world around them, and ensuring that Watkinson can continue meeting each learner where they are, celebrating their unique potential. We invite you to join us in making these transformative connections possible.
