The Capital Campaign for RCS

The last many years have been a transformational time for Rippowam Cisqua School. As we celebrate more than 105 years of time-honored traditions, our educational approach continually meets modern 21st century needs. With your generosity, we’ve raised nearly $50 million in the last 25 years alone, cultivating independent thinkers, confident communicators, and engaged leaders. 

Our beautiful and historic Bedford campus blends state-of-the-art facilities with cutting edge programs that continually improve the RCS journey. Our commitment to academic excellence and civic engagement prepares students for a dynamic global landscape. Through your ongoing enthusiasm, you are pivotal in shaping our future graduates’ path and we are profoundly grateful.

In the last 15 years, we have: 

Restored and expanded state-of-the-art teaching and learning spaces on our Bedford campus: Innovation Center, Media Center and Library, Dining Hall and outdoor patio, Centennial Hall, Courtyard and amphitheater, Cushman House renovations, including Admissions Office, Early Childhood House, two science labs, four new classrooms, 14 redesigned and renovated classrooms, a living green roof, and two art studios

Created top-notch athletic fields along with two state-of-the-art playgrounds: Meyers Fields expansion of 6 fields along with two playgrounds designated for students ages 3-5 and students ages 5-12

Acquired Bedford properties creating 34-acres of contiguous land: 33 and 42 Clinton Road and 459 Cantitoe Street

Constructing a new Learning Lab opening in 2025: two floors of interactive classroom, workshop and common area spaces dedicated to writing and match support and enrichment

Invested in the RCS endowment: supporting tuition assistance of more than $3 million per year, curricular innovations and faculty and staff professional development and competitive salaries

Your impact inspires us.

Together, we can do more.

The turn of the decade marks a new era for Rippowam Cisqua School. With a clear direction, the Capital Campaign for RCS fully leverages the state-of-the-art-facilities and talented faculty and staff that have made RCS such a beloved school through so many generations.
