Circle of Friends

What makes a school community extraordinary? The people who believe in it, the relationships that sustain it, and the many ways we show up for one another.

Our Circle of Friends are a special group of major donors whose dedication across the decades has helped Studio flourish. From launching the Capital Campaign for our beautiful school building in 2007 to supporting the crucial programs, scholarships, and special funds and rooms that distinguish a Studio education today, our Circle has enabled hundreds of families to benefit from the distinctive Studio School Approach.

“The experiences we have as a community each year at Studio become part of us. There is something powerful in committing to a shared purpose and contributing to something larger. In a changing educational, political, and cultural landscape, our connections to one another matter more than ever. The strength of our school depends not only on the education we provide, but also on the people who stand behind it.”

—Janet C. Rotter, Head of School

“There's something beautiful about a circle. It has no beginning and no end. Every point is connected, and every point matters. The strength of our circle lies not in what any one of us can give, but in what we can accomplish together. The world needs original thinkers, and if we believe in what Studio is doing, we share a responsibility to help it grow. The legacy we build today will shape the generations of tomorrow.”

—Ayana Brantley-Lewis, Studio Trustee and former parent

“Being part of the Circle of Friends has deepened my appreciation for the many ways we can contribute to the Studio community. I especially value the opportunity to connect with others who care deeply about Studio, to explore the different ways we can make a difference, and to give back to a place that has meant so much to my family.”

—Cara Thomas, Parent
