Severn School Launches Historic $25 Million Campaign: "Our Future, Our Severn: A Promise"

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Severn School is proud to announce the official launch of Our Future, Our Severn: A Promise, a transformative $25 million campaign designed to fulfill a longstanding commitment to our students, faculty, and community. This campaign represents a landmark opportunity for Severn School to further our mission by enhancing facilities, supporting dynamic learning programs, and creating new growth opportunities.

Our Future, Our Severn: A Promise is more than a campaign. It’s a vision for Severn’s future that promises to enrich the educational experience for every student, build a resilient foundation for future generations, and ensure that Severn School remains a leader in independent education. Anchored in the core values that define Severn, this campaign will focus on:
  1. Redesigning the Chesapeake Campus – Rebuilding the Chesapeake campus will provide a state-of-the-art Lower School designed to meet the evolving needs of our PS through 5th-grade students. 
  2. Revitalizing the Price Auditorium on Teel Campus – Enhancing the Price Auditorium ensures that our Middle and Upper School students can access a vibrant, updated space for arts, gatherings, and events that enrich their academic journey. 
  3. Growing Endowments and Increasing Accessibility – Expanding our endowment allows us to invest further in scholarships, faculty development, and financial support, reinforcing Severn's commitment to educational excellence for all.
