Dear Ridleians,
Ridley College has spent the past four years working closely with the Board of Governors and Leadership Team to develop a strategic vision that will address the future needs of its students and the campus.
Due diligence has been given by the Board of Governors and the Leadership Team and over the next three years, Ridley College is embarking upon Phase One of the Master Campus Plan to raise $30 million for capital projects, and $10 million to grow Ridley’s endowment.
Today we have a pressing need to recreate parts of our campus to provide tomorrow’s students with an
environment that is designed to support modern learning, and to ensure that we can continue to offer
outstanding and deserving young minds the benefits of a Ridley education through financial assistance.
Ridley must keep pace with changing times by giving students the opportunity to engage with the
technology that is shaping our future, and create student-centric spaces to support our already
exceptional programmes. At the same time, we must strive to embrace and encourage the creativity
that leads to innovation, whether it be in digital arts, fine arts or music.
We can only succeed in our vision if we maintain the caliber of young minds who walk through the Marriott
Gates. The deserving students who are able to take advantage of our unparalleled educational
experience and future learning accommodations will depend upon the health of our endowment. In
order to maintain consistently strong enrollment each year, and to ensure that Ridley remains a diverse
community, accessible to gifted, ambitious students, it is vital that we substantially increase our current
endowment.
