The time has come for transformative changes that resonate with our timeless mission and prepare our students for the challenges of the future.

The urgency of these changes cannot be overstated. By contributing to Radford School's capital campaign, you become a key player in ensuring that our institution remains a beacon of learning for the next 114 years and beyond. Your support is an investment in the future of education, sustainability, and the well-being of generations to come.


Join us in this transformative journey. Together, let's create a legacy that reflects the spirit of Radford School – excellence, tradition, and a commitment to building a brighter future.

  • Windows of Opportunity: A Sustainable Tomorrow

    Our 114-year-old institution carries a storied history, evident in the 330 windows that have witnessed our enduring legacy. Beyond preserving our rich past, these windows offer an opportunity to enhance both sustainability and the well-being of our school community.


    Through the strategic replacement of these windows, we aspire to achieve more than aesthetic improvements. The installation of modern, energy-efficient windows serves as a dual-purpose investment, addressing both environmental and educational needs. As we embark on this initiative, we aim to not only lower utility costs but also redirect valuable resources directly into the heart of education, creating an optimal learning environment for our students.


    Moreover, these new windows introduce a safety feature by incorporating advanced security measures, ensuring the well-being of our school community. Simultaneously, the enhanced insulation and noise reduction capabilities contribute to the comfort and tranquility within our educational spaces. This commitment aligns seamlessly with our dedication to environmental stewardship, positioning Radford School as a forward-thinking institution that places paramount importance on responsible resource management

  • Modernizing Bathrooms: Creating Comfortable Spaces

    The very essence of Radford School lies in creating an environment where students can thrive intellectually and emotionally. Updating our bathrooms is not merely about aesthetics but about providing students with comfortable and functional spaces that enhance their well-being. Beyond the visible improvements, we recognize the importance of preventative maintenance in our piping systems. This ensures the seamless functioning of our facilities, preventing disruptions to the daily lives of our students and staff.

  • Eco-Friendly Hydration: Sustaining Our Environment

    In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, we aim to introduce water refillable stations throughout our campus. This initiative not only aligns with our commitment to being eco-friendly but also encourages healthy hydration habits among our students. Moreover, these stations will come equipped with advanced filters, providing clean and safe water while maintaining filter statuses. By embracing this initiative, Radford School not only reduces plastic waste but also instills in our students a sense of environmental consciousness.

  • New Roofs for Upper School and Administration: Protecting Our Academic Sanctuary

    The high school section, often regarded as our academic sanctuary, requires immediate attention. The aging roofs not only compromise the structural integrity but also risk exposing our students and faculty to the elements. By investing in new, durable roofs, we safeguard the very essence of our educational environment. This upgrade ensures that our high school section remains a haven for learning, free from the disruptions caused by leaks and structural vulnerabilities.

  • Advancing Information Technology for Enhanced Safety Measures: A Digital Shield for Radford School

    In tandem with our commitment to physical improvements, we recognize the pivotal role that Information Technology (IT) plays in bolstering safety measures within our school. By integrating advanced IT solutions, we aim to create a secure and technologically empowered environment for our students and staff.

  • Phone in Every Classroom:

    Ensuring seamless communication is paramount for the safety and well-being of our school community. As part of our transformation plan, we propose installing a dedicated phone in every classroom. This initiative provides an efficient and direct line of communication, enabling swift response during emergencies and facilitating effective coordination among educators and administrative staff.

    Donate!
  • Unified Wi-Fi Network:

    A cohesive and robust IT infrastructure is essential for maintaining a secure and interconnected learning environment. To achieve this, we plan to establish a unified Wi-Fi network across the entire school campus. This network not only supports academic activities but also enhances security measures by enabling real-time monitoring and communication. Students, teachers, and staff will benefit from reliable connectivity, fostering a technologically enriched educational experience.

    Donate!
  • PA System Integration:

    To fortify our campus-wide communication strategy, we propose integrating the PA system with our broader IT framework. This enhancement will allow for centralized control and quick dissemination of critical information, ensuring that important announcements, emergency alerts, and safety instructions reach every corner of the school promptly. The interconnected PA system will serve as a vital tool for enhancing overall safety and security protocols.


    By embracing these IT advancements, Radford School seeks to create a digitally fortified environment, ensuring a swift and coordinated response in any situation. This investment in information technology aligns seamlessly with our commitment to the safety, security, and well-being of our students, making Radford a resilient and technologically advanced educational institution.
