ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Ashburians, This year’s annual report coincides with the first year of our new strategic plan, Together Towards 2025–Ensemble vers 2025, and the celebrates our unique 128th school year. The year was notably marked by elements which strengthened our mission, values and strategic direction, and by three historic C’s. » First, the completion of our CAIS (Canadian Accredited Independent Schools) re-accreditation. In early November, a team of administrators from independent schools across the country visited Ashbury’s campus for a wide-ranging look at everything from classroom activities to operational management. The process supported our strategic direction and resulted in very positive commendations and recommendations for continuing to improve our exceptional offerings. » Second, our Centre for Science & Innovation finally opened its doors after a three-year campaign raised $7-million to build this stunning new addition to our campus, while supporting our financial assistance programs. Having all of our Senior sciences under one roof allows for more cross-collaboration between faculty and students, all of whom are enjoying the spacious, light-filled classrooms and university-calibre labs. » Third, and perhaps most critical, COVID. The pandemic initially saw the cancellation of school trips early in the year, followed by a full closure of campus and the swift shift to a new distance learning model. Our faculty and students showed exceptional resilience as
Message from Norman Southward Head of School they replaced in-person exchanges with engagement via screens in different time zones across the world. I am proud of how our Ashbury community adapted to a new reality in what have been trying and uncertain times. This year we have also been able to give closer consideration to racial and indigenous issues, pluralism and diversity, community wellness, and endowment growth for financial assistance. These are themes and areas of focus we will carry with us into the future. Finally, as with any school our people are key drivers to supporting our mission, with faculty and staff as both experts in their field and contributors to full school life and our governance model allows for institutional memory, while ensuring new and innovative perspectives for strategy. Thank you to all of our stakeholders who contributed to the success of the 2019–20 school year and to charting new opportunities for the future. Je souhaite adresser mes plus sincères remerciements à tous les partenaires de notre succès.

The 128th school year was one that our Ashbury community, and indeed everyone around the world, will not soon forget. Who could have imagined facing a global pandemic, that all learning would be delivered in a distance format by the end of the year, or that Closing ceremonies would be virtual?
Message from Lori O’Neill Chair, Board of Governors
Change would certainly be the word to sum up the last several months. Ashbury students were quick to adapt, and the shift to distance learning in the latter part of the year was remarkably smooth. Our teachers lead the way, demonstrating agility, creativity and their steadfast commitment to our students and community. While campus grew quiet, classes and the spirit of Ashbury engagement continued online with students studying from many locations and time zones. While we were disappointed that lockdown prevented an in-person celebration of our graduates, our pride in their collective accomplishments and resilience was perhaps stronger than ever. Our school came together as a community, facing academic and social challenges, while successfully navigating the complex new realities of limited human contact. Last year marked a new beginning for our strategic plan, and for learning and discovery in our incredible new Centre for Science & Innovation. In the coming year, Ashbury will continue to be guided by its mission to inspire students in a dynamic learning environment as intellectually curious, compassionate and responsible global citizens. Our talented leadership team is supported by outstanding board members who are engaged, knowledgeable, and committed to the Ashbury vision and values. The generosity of our school’s donors, together with careful stewardship of resources ensures a learning experience of the highest standard for our current and future students. The financial position of the school is strong and provides the foundation for a long future of excellence in education. On behalf my colleagues on the board, we express heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you for fostering the Ashbury advantage. 4
The impact of the pandemic continues to reverberate across many aspects of modern life. Ashbury’s commitment to its mission, especially in times of uncertainty, is impressive and should serve as an inspiration to all in our school community. As the custodian of the Ashbury College Endowment fund, the Foundation Board oversees a diversified portfolio and seeks to minimize the impact of market fluctuations. Despite stock market swings spurred by unpredictable economic conditions over the last eight months, the Ashbury College Endowment has recovered well. Through generous support from Ashbury donors and prudent oversight of the endowment, Ashbury maintained its goal of providing 10% of current students with needs-based financial assistance covering at least 50% of fees.
Message from Hugh Scott ’88 Chair, Foundation Board The increase in student financial assistance, and the completion of the new Centre for Science & Innovation, would not have been possible without the continued support from the Ashbury community. Your contributions not only build upon what has come before, they create a legacy for future generations of Ashburians. Thank you to all who supported our Foundation this year.

In September 2017, Ashbury launched a major initiative to bring the vision of university-calibre science facilities to reality. An important element of this campaign was to expand access to an Ashbury education through increased needs-based financial assistance. We invited our community to help bring this vision to reality and the response has been outstanding! The Centre for Science & Innovation provides a 40% increase in science teaching and learning spaces: the building houses seven 1,200 square foot labs, a 1,500 square foot innovation lab (open to all students, not only science students), a computer coding lab, consolidated faculty office spaces, spaces for collaboration, and proper preparation and storage spaces. The building was completed in March 2020 and opened to students in September, who have brought their wonderful energy to the building. We are proud to announce that the $10-million project, which had a fundraising goal of $5-milion, generated $7-million in philanthropic support from hundreds of donors. Furthermore, donor support provided a $1.4-million increase to the Ashbury College Endowment, providing more opportunities for needs-based financial assistance. We would like to offer our heartfelt thanks for the support from the Ashbury community; this milestone in the evolution of Ashbury College would not have been possible with you. 6

Ashbury College officially opens Centre for Science & Innovation Ribbon cutting ceremony marks end of three-year fundraising campaign on new build
Ashbury College officially opened its new Centre for Science & Innovation on September 24. The three-storey facility is the latest addition to the school’s 13-acre campus, housing six labs and offering a 40% increase in teaching areas. The new space allows for all of Ashbury’s senior science classrooms to be grouped together alongside multidisciplinary spaces. University-calibre laboratories set a new standard for independent school facilities, while light-filled classrooms with moveable furniture allow teachers to adapt to different and evolving pedagogies.
“This new centre is a capstone to our programs and facilities and a beautiful new addition to our school,” said Norman Southward, Ashbury’s Head of School. “Capturing the awe of sciences in Ashbury classes can only further inspire our students as innovators and discoverers in improving our world.” Ashbury’s science faculties are led by passionate and inspiring subject specialists and the school’s innovation programs are built on a spirit of inquiry and discovery. Over one third of Ashbury graduates pursue post-secondary education in science and engineering. Invited guests for the physically-distanced opening ceremony included Ashbury alumnus Alex Munter, CEO of CHEO, Councillor for Rideau-Rockcliffe, Rawlson King and Christina Tessier, president and CEO of Ingenium. The trio were joined by a small group of Ashbury students and faculty, who have been enjoying the new spaces since the start of school earlier in September. A fundraising campaign saw $7-million in donations raised to fund both the build and a complementary endowment for financial assistance, directed to attracting and supporting exceptional students who would not otherwise be able to receive an Ashbury education. Currently over 10% of Ashbury’s student body benefit from our financial assistance program.
