The word philanthropy comes from two Greek words meaning love (philia) and mankind (anthrōpos). Your support for Wellington’s students through gifts to the Annual Fund is just one way for you to demonstrate your love for this community. 

During the 2022-23 school year, your generosity galvanized plans for the Innovation Space, a renovated space for students to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit. Thanks to you, our lower school’s new engineering and design thinking special area class will be fully kited with Lego robotics to encourage teamwork and problem-solving. Your love helped Wellington provide even more tuition assistance dollars, helping to make a Wellington education accessible to more families. You helped provide even more programming and support for students’ well-being, which we know is fundamental to thriving academically.  

Your support powers our mission to help students find their purpose and realize their potential for tomorrow’s world every single day. On behalf of the entire Wellington community, we are grateful for your ongoing commitment to Wellington’s success.  

With gratitude,
Jeff Terwin
Head of School

Wellington is committed to expanding its efforts to support the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of our students. Your gifts to the Well-Being and Belonging fund supported us in implementing Second Step programming, an evidence-based SEL curriculum, introducing a social-emotional learning specialist in early childhood classrooms, and continuing to support groups like Female Students of Color and sponsor student and faculty participation in events like the People of Color Conference, Celebration of Black Voices, and Pride Parade.

Your gifts to Tuition Assistance supported us in bolstering our tuition assistance program to extend the accessibility of a Wellington education to more students and families. In the 2023-24 school year, Wellington will introduce a financial emergency fund for families experiencing a one-time financial hardship.
