Realize inspiring spaces for every boy
Realizing inspiring spaces for every boy means having a continuum of safe and appropriate learning spaces, from pre-kindergarten through sixth form. The Character at Our Core campaign built upon previous campaigns to rebuild much of our campus. The new Middle School is pedagogically appropriate, safe and accessible, and provides flexible spaces that facilitate high-quality teaching and learning.

Jay Greytok '83, Head of Middle SchoolOur space that we hope to create for the boys is one where the program drives the space, the space doesn’t drive the program. They’re going to be in work environments where there won’t be too many walls – they’ll have to communicate and collaborate on a global level. We want to be sure they have those skills coming out of Middle School.

To all who have supported Character at Our Core - thank you. You have the heartfelt gratitude of the entire Haverford School community.
Our work in providing boys the best support as they grow into young men is not done. You can still support important initiatives at The Haverford School by making a gift to The Haverford Fund.
