St. Benedict’s Episcopal School is proud to launch the Imagine Capital Campaign, a community-wide effort to strengthen the student experience today while building toward the future of our campus.
For more than 15 years, St. Benedict’s has been a place where every child is known, challenged, and celebrated. It is a school where belonging is not just a value but a daily experience, shaping how students learn, grow, and connect with one another.
Now, we have an opportunity to build on that foundation.
With the Daniel Street property secured, St. Benedict’s is positioned to expand the spaces that support joyful learning, meaningful connection, and whole-child development. This is a moment to invest in the environments that bring our mission to life in new ways and ensure that every student has room to thrive.
To date, our community has raised $3.407 million toward a goal of $5 million. Reaching this goal will require the continued support and participation of families, alumni, and partners who believe in the future of St. Benedict’s.
“This is a defining moment for St. Benedict’s,” said Brian Sullivan Head of School “Opportunities like this property happen once in a lifetime. We are so lucky and excited to expand our footprint in Smyrna, and build a legacy that will be a home for generations to come.”
Through the Imagine Capital Campaign, St. Benedict’s will create expanded green space for play and exploration, outdoor learning environments that support hands-on discovery, and gathering spaces where the community can come together for traditions, performances, and shared experiences. These improvements will benefit every student, with impact that can be felt right away.
This effort is not about growth for its own sake. It is a thoughtful, phased approach that strengthens the student experience now while laying the groundwork for a future middle school campus.
St. Benedict’s has always been built by the people who believe in it. From its earliest days to today, this community has invested in creating a place where children can become curious thinkers, kind individuals, and confident leaders.
That same spirit will carry this campaign forward.
Our goal is for students to fully utilize these new spaces by the 2027 to 2028 academic year. To make that possible, we must raise the remaining funds by March 2027.
This is a defining moment for St. Benedict’s. Together, we have the opportunity to strengthen what makes this school so special and to build a campus that reflects the promise of every student who walks through our doors.
I’m in. Are you?
