This beautiful, new, two-story, 60,000 square foot building will serve all Shorecrest students from The Experiential School to our seniors, and as a meeting place for the whole community. The building houses Shorecrest’s first-ever kitchen and dining rooms with indoor and outdoor seating, The Experiential School classrooms and playgrounds, Lower School Library and Media Center, the Clinic and the Wonder Studio. When the second floor is completed Charger Commons will also contain the admissions/enrollment management offices, The Learning Center, Shorecrest Community Association & Helping Hands workspace, the Headmaster’s office, an Alumni Hall and Lower School classrooms for arts, music and languages.
The next phase will help finish out the second floor of the new facility to include Lower School art, music and languages, new Student Activities Center, media center, provide a space for The Learning Center and the Shorecrest Community Association (SCA), and will cultivate 1.5 acres of greenspace that includes the Weiss Family Pavilion and playscapes.
We have already made meaningful progress — more than 150 families have contributed $10 million toward our $16 million goal. More and more generous donors are stepping forward, and 100 percent of Shorecrest’s Board of Trustees and numerous staff, alumni, parents, grandparents and friends donated prior to the campaign’s public debut.
The more than 150 families who have contributed to the Transform Campaign have given gifts and multi-year pledges ranging from $1,000 to $2 million.
There is a place for everyone to be involved in the Transform Campaign! Reach out and let us know you have interest. Take a personal hard hat tour of the second floor or become an advocate for the campaign. Please contact Michael Gillis at mgillis@shorecrest.org to find out more!
Transform is funded solely by the philanthropic support of the Shorecrest community. This project is not paid for from tuition. The Transform Campaign needs everyone of the Shorecrest community to rise to the occasion and find ways to get involved. In many ways, all families are already being asked to consider a gift or multi-year pledge. Peruse the information on this website and let us know what part of Transform resonates most for your family.
In addition to one-time gifts Shorecrest accepts multi-year pledges. A pledge can be fulfilled through one payment or multiple payments scheduled over a period of time. Shorecrest is accepting campaign pledges for up to 3 years. Gifts and pledge installments can be paid for via check, online with credit card or with appreciated stock which can add benefit to donors on capital gains tax.
Yes! Shorecrest is a 501c3 non-profit institution. Please consult your financial advisor to take full advantage of your tax deductible donations to Transform and the Shorecrest Annual Fund.
Transform and the Shorecrest Annual Fund are two entirely separate funds with very distinct purposes and goals.
Transform builds community by providing new facilities. Each and every year the Shorecrest Annual Fund adds vital support for our programs inside of those buildings.
Whether it be funding new innovative teaching and learning, or adding support for new technologies and professional development for our amazing teachers, or even providing things like art supplies, the Shorecrest Annual Fund provides Endless Possibilities for all families to enhance their academic and community experience. Both need our full community support.
