We are now entering a phase in Olney's history where we have an opportunity to take the longer view and create a lasting positive legacy for the school.

The time has come for us to accomplish this through investment in the school's permanent endowment and enhancement of existing buildings. The A Time to Build capital campaign gives Olney's supporters the first opportunity in decades to invest in capital campus improvements and an endowment with the capacity to provide significant support to the school in the 21st Century.

We are extremely excited to be planning construction of the Olney Friends School Activity Center. The new environmentally friendly, "green" Activity Center will be an inviting campus centerpiece that will house a new gymnasium and function as a multi-purpose community gathering and classroom space. Those familiar with the school's current gym understand that this project is long overdue. It is the first new construction project on the Olney Friends School campus since the girls dorm was completed in 1968. Donors to the A Time to Build campaign will have the opportunity to participate in seeing this important capital project, among other campaign goals, to fruition. more info

Over the course of the last six years, the trustees have engaged in both short-term strategic planning as well as long-term campus planning. Input solicited from staff, board members, students and their families helped us establish priorities and a vision for first priority improvements.
