Nativity Annual Report 2025

GROWING TOGETHER ANNUAL REPORT 2025

“

When Nativity Worcester first opened its doors to 23 boys in the basement of All Saints Church, we could not have imagined how far the school would grow. Over 23 years, I have been privileged to witness Nativity’s evolution, from expanding grade levels and building a true campus at 67 Lincoln Street to strengthening academics, partnerships, and graduate support. After many years in the making, we launched the Julie Power Girls Division, which has exceeded our hopes, with boys welcoming their peers and girls rising confidently to Nativity’s high expectations.

Dear Supporters and Friends, This year marks a defining chapter in the life of Nativity School of Worcester, one shaped by growth, gratitude, and the strength of community.

With the growing impact of the Julie Power Girls Division and the continued strength of the Chick Weiss Boys Division, Nativity has become a co-divisional school united by one

mission: to provide a transformative, tuition-free education rooted in Ignatian values. This expansion has not changed who we are; it has strengthened who we are and broadened who we serve.

This 2025 Annual Report will share how Nativity has been growing together. Students are growing in confidence and achievement. Families are growing in trust and partnership.

Faculty and staff are growing in collaboration and impact. Our graduates are growing in reach and leadership. And our community of supporters continues to grow in generosity, vision, and commitment.

Every milestone in this report, academic achievement, graduate success, community partnerships, program expansion, and the historic success of our Access & Impact Campaign, reflects what is possible when a community comes together around a shared belief: that every child deserves opportunity, care, and a future filled with promise.

Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey. Together, we are not simply growing a school; we are growing futures.

With Gratitude,

Tom McKenney President

A GROWING IMPACT In 2025, Nativity School of Worcester stood at a pivotal and energizing moment in its history. With the successful launch of the Julie Power Girls Division and the continued strength of the Chick Weiss Boys Division, Nativity is now a two-division school united by one shared mission: to provide a transformative, tuition-free education rooted in Ignatian values that prepares students from underresourced communities to lead lives of purpose, service, and integrity.

The introduction of the Julie Power Girls Division has not changed who we are; it has expanded our reach and deepened our impact.

STRENGTHENED COMMUNITY THROUGH SHARED VALUES While students learn in single-gender academic settings, the girls and boys divisions are intentionally connected through shared values, common expectations, and a unified school culture. Both divisions are grounded in the same commitment to academic rigor, character formation, graduate support, and holistic care for every child.

Together, our students and community benefit from: A close-knit environment rooted in respect, belonging, and excellence Shared traditions, Ignatian values, service experiences, and community celebrations Faculty collaboration that strengthens teaching and student support across divisions Increased enrollment while preserving small class sizes and individualized attention This intentional structure allows each student to thrive academically and personally while reinforcing a collective identity as one Nativity Worcester community.

BROADER IMPACT, DEEPER FORMATION Educating both boys and girls has expanded Nativity’s impact across Worcester and beyond. More families now have access to a tuition-free, mission-driven education for their children. Students grow within a community that reflects the world they will one day lead, learning empathy, confidence, and responsibility.

Together, as one community with two divisions, Nativity is shaping the next generation of leaders, young women and young men prepared to serve, lead, and create lasting change.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE:

Building Strong Foundations for What Comes Next

“

Statistically, I shouldn’t be here. Many students of color with a first-generation low-income background are not given the tools to succeed and are rather pushed to the side due to low academic performance, but I was lucky. I was lucky to have people who believed in me; my family, as well as my external family at Nativity School of Worcester, to raise me up to believe in myself in the world of higher education...

ROOTED IN RIGOR Nativity offers a comprehensive and distinctive academic experience that prepares students for the rigor of high school, post-secondary pathways, and beyond. With small class sizes and a co-teaching model, students benefit from individualized instruction, strong teacher-student relationships, and high expectations. Through rigorous coursework and personalized support, Nativity equips students with the skills, confidence, and discipline needed to thrive in the classroom and beyond.

“

Throughout the year, my focus is to address the needs of students academically, emotionally, and socially…

Students are given choice, voice, and opportunities to grow at their own pace, fostering confidence and independence. Writing conferences, journaling, and varied instructional formats allow students to express their ideas, reflect on their experiences, and feel seen as individuals, not just learners working toward academic goals.

CELEBRATING LITERACY IN ENGAGING WAYS Nativity’s Annual Spelling Bee brings literacy to life, giving 6th-grade students the chance to take academic risks, cheer one another on, and proudly demonstrate their growing command of language. This year, the 6th Grade Ebo and Harak Classes impressed the community with their spelling skills, confidence, and composure, reinforcing a school culture where learning is rigorous, supportive, and joyful.

What I like most about coming here is that my teachers and friends help me achieve my goals and are proud of me when I do.

ACADEMIC GROWTH IN ACTION

GRADE MATH

Nativity’s academic program is built to deliver measurable, sustained growth over time, and the progress of the 20252026 8th Grade Kircher Class offers a compelling example of that impact.

The 8th Grade Kircher Class entered Nativity in 5th grade with average standardized test scores at approximately the 50th percentile nationally.

Over the next four years, these students demonstrated exceptional academic growth, moving into the top quartile of students across the country in Math, Reading, and Language Usage. These outcomes reflect the strength of Nativity’s educational model and its ability to translate opportunity into long-term achievement.

When I was at Nativity, it meant opportunity, growth, and belonging. It was a place where I felt seen and supported, where every teacher and staff member believed in my potential, even on the days I doubted myself. Nativity challenged me to push my limits, instilled discipline, and taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. It wasn’t just a school—it was a second family, a community that shaped my character and encouraged me to dream bigger. Now, as I reflect on my time there, Nativity means even more. It represents a foundation that continues to guide me.

Growing Investments in Excellence & Opportunities SMART CLASSROOMS, BRIGHT FUTURES

Thanks to the extraordinary success of Access & Impact: The Campaign for Nativity Worcester and the generosity of our supporters, every classroom is now equipped with new smartboards and upgraded technology. These enhancements have amplified teaching and learning, enabling more interactive instruction, greater student engagement, and expanded access to digital resources that support academic excellence.

As our co-divisional student body has grown, so too have our learning spaces. Over the summer of 2025, renovations created a new classroom and meeting space. In the 2026-2027 school year, Nativity will graduate its first 8th-grade girls’ class, to accommodate seven classes, a 2026 renovation will build a new classroom and renovate student restrooms. These investments reflect careful stewardship and a commitment to creating spaces where girls and boys across Worcester can thrive.

ENGINEERING THE FUTURE In 2025, Nativity established a new Robotics Club, and it quickly became a hub of innovation, teamwork, and hands-on learning under the leadership of a dedicated parent from our community. The team meets four times a week to explore the world of robotics, competing in its first competition this winter. With a strong focus on collaboration and creative problem-solving, our students are not only building robots but also building confidence, technical skills, and a passion for engineering.

EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON

Opportunities Beyond the Classroom EXPLORING THE WORLD TOGETHER: Engaging field trips are a part of Nativity’s holistic approach to education, offering students opportunities to learn through experience, build community, and engage with the wider world beyond 67 Lincoln Street. During the summer program and academic year, students participate in field trips across Massachusetts, visiting museums, parks, cultural institutions, and community organizations, broadening students’ perspectives beyond the classroom. For 7th and 8th graders, the annual Adventure Bound trip to Maine offers outdoor challenges such as whitewater rafting and ropes courses that build teamwork, resilience, and self-discovery.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE THROUGH PLAY At Nativity, athletics are about far more than competition; they are opportunities to build teamwork, leadership, and joy. Twice a week, students participate in six seasonal sports throughout the year. As a core component of Nativity’s mandatory AfterSchool Program, athletics provide structured time for physical activity, offer a healthy outlet after a full academic day, and reinforce classroom values such as discipline, sportsmanship, and collaboration.

“

After school is where Nativity’s community extends beyond the classroom. As an alum, a former Teaching Fellow, and now as the Director of the program, I’ve seen how powerful it is when students and graduates have a safe place to learn, play, and build relationships after the bell rings. This program creates connection, confidence, and a sense of belonging that lasts long after the day ends and after students graduate from our halls.

IGNATIAN MISSION:

Developing Men and Women for Others SUMMER OF SERVICE Nativity’s Summer of Service 2025 marked our second co-divisional summer program. Students in grades 5–7 completed service projects for Worcester-area nonprofits, including The Village, Community Harvest Project, Veterans Inc., and El Buen Samaritano. This service work, combined with classes that educate students on social justice issues, helped the student deepen empathy, teamwork, and connection to Worcester.

For the seventeenth consecutive year, eighth graders participated in the Youth Philanthropy Initiative, learning about nonprofits, deciding how to distribute $5,000 in grant funding to local organizations, and building leadership, reflection, and civic responsibility. All this work is in the spirit of developing men and women for others.

REFLECTION, RELATIONSHIPS, AND RENEWAL Retreats are a living expression of Nativity’s Ignatian mission, offering students a safe space for reflection, relationship building, and renewal. During these day-long experiences, students leave campus and visit the College of the Holy Cross to reflect together as a class with faculty guidance.

In 5th grade, retreats emphasize community building and strengthening connections among peers. In 6th and 7th grade, scholars reflect on the virtues of the person for whom their class is named, strengthening identity and belonging.

8th-grade retreats focus on leadership and the legacy they hope to leave behind them. Across all grades, retreats invite students to discern their values and return to school with renewed purpose.

“

I love being part of organizing and leading student retreats here at Nativity. It is a special part of our unique school programming that supports the whole child and continues building community.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Growing Together Through Collaboration At Nativity Worcester, growth is enabled by strong, mission-aligned high school, college, and other partners that deepen the school’s impact across the community. These relationships create new opportunities for students, graduates, and educators to thrive at every stage of their journey, while also positively impacting Nativity’s partners.

SUPPORTING THE NEXT STEP: HIGH SCHOOL PARTNERS Through partnerships with St. John’s High School, Bancroft School, Worcester Academy, St. Paul Diocesan High School, and other schools, Nativity ensures that graduates transition into high school environments where they are known, supported, and challenged. Ongoing collaboration with counselors, faculty, and administrators allows Nativity’s Graduate Support team to advocate for students, monitor academic progress, and remain closely connected well beyond middle school graduation. Nativity is grateful to its dedicated high school partners!

Enrolling Worcester students is a particular source of pride at Worcester Academy, and enrolling Nativity students makes us a stronger school. Our Nativity scholars arrive with solid academic preparation, and certain intangibles help them thrive here.

At Nativity, students learn about resilience and self-advocacy, skills that serve them well in high school and beyond. They also exhibit a “grit” which is synonymous with the City both schools call home, and a “grace,” which is learned in Nativity’s “wholestudent” programming.

LEARNING, MENTORSHIP, AND LEADERSHIP: COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY PARTNERS Nativity’s college partnerships further strengthen this growing network of care.

Institutions such as the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester State University, Assumption University, and Clark University play a vital role in tutoring, mentoring, and educator development.

“

I’ve had the privilege of being involved with Nativity since it opened in 2003, and my experiences at Nativity Worcester have profoundly shaped my life – both personally and professionally. No lesson has been more formative than what Nativity has shown me about the power of community and connection. When people are invested in each other’s growth and success as much as their own, remarkable things can happen.

MEETING STUDENTS WHERE THEY’RE AT In 2025, Nativity launched a new tutoring partnership with Worcester State University. WSU students, who are training to become teachers, now provide one-on-one homework support, strengthening academic skills while building confidence, connection, and consistency for our students.

College of the Holy Cross students continue to play a vital role as well, with more than 50 volunteers each week offering individualized academic support. Grounded in mutuality and sustained commitment, these partnerships foster meaningful relationships, extend learning beyond the classroom, and deepen our ties to the broader community.

MENTORSHIP THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE The Bob Cousy Assist Program, an initiative uniquely designed for Nativity students, unites Nativity Worcester, the College of the Holy Cross, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Massachusetts in a powerful mentorship partnership. Named in honor of Holy Cross alumnus, longtime Nativity supporter, and NBA legend Bob Cousy, the program pairs students with members of the Holy Cross men’s and women’s basketball teams for oneon-one mentorship. These mentorships give students consistent role models who offer encouragement, guidance, and positive examples both on and off the court. Rooted in shared values of leadership, commitment, and service, the program strengthens students’ confidence and sense of belonging while underscoring the power of relationships in shaping young lives.

“

The partnership between Holy Cross Basketball and the Nativity School of Worcester is about more than just the game; it is a shared journey of mentorship and growth. By bridging the gap between the court and the classroom, these studentathletes and Nativity scholars prove that the most lasting victories are the ones achieved through community, connection, and the mutual pursuit of excellence.

PARTNERSHIPS THAT BUILD FUTURE EDUCATORS & LEADERS: A defining strength of the Fellowship Program is its intentional investment in each Fellow's professional and leadership development. Through the generous partnership of Assumption University and Clark University, Nativity’s Teaching Fellows earn funded graduate degrees while teaching full-time in our classrooms.

Nativity further supports Fellows holistically by providing room and board, monthly food & living stipends, health insurance, and additional benefits, ensuring they can focus fully on teaching, learning, and service. Over the course of their two-year commitment, Fellows grow alongside their students, deepening their leadership skills and carrying Nativity’s mission forward into their future careers.

Through resume workshops, career exploration opportunities, and real-world skill-building experiences, graduates develop the tools needed to navigate adulthood with confidence.

Our Graduate Support Program remains a steady presence during and after these transitions, offering ongoing mentorship, guidance, and community.

Sam has given back to Nativity by volunteering, including serving as a basketball coach and mentor to students.

Sam Odjidja’s journey is a powerful reflection of perseverance, purpose, and the lasting strength of the Nativity community.

As an 8th grader, Sam shared with his teachers a bold and heartfelt goal: to attend medical school and become a physician. This fall, that goal became a reality as he began his first year at UMass Chan Medical School.

After graduating from Nativity Worcester as a member of the Hurtado Class of 2014, Sam went on to attend Worcester Academy, where he excelled

In a moment that speaks volumes about the bonds formed at Nativity, Sam returned to campus before his White Coat Ceremony. Though tickets were

limited, he made sure to invite members of the Nativity staff, sharing how pivotal the school had been in shaping his path.

Current Nativity staff members Andrea Bazarian, Alex Bazarian, Demetrius Safford '11, and Meredith Kent proudly attended alongside Emmanuel Segrain ’14 and Sam’s brother, Andrew '22.

Sam’s white coat represents years of hard work and determination, but it also symbolizes something deeper: a community that continues to walk with its graduates long after middle school.

From Hurtado Class scholar to future physician, Sam carries Nativity’s values with him as he steps into a life of service and healing.

CAMPAIGN SUCCESS:

A Community That Shows Up In November 2025, Nativity was thrilled to announce the successful completion of its capital campaign, Access & Impact: The Campaign for Nativity School of Worcester. The campaign was launched in 2023 with the goal of raising $20 million.

Thanks to the generosity of more than 2,000 individuals, foundations, and corporations, Nativity surpassed the original campaign goal, raising $25 million, making it the largest campaign in the school's history.

The campaign’s success has created the first tuition-free private education for girls in Central Massachusetts. It has developed new opportunities that ensure all students, both boys and girls, can thrive and become tomorrow’s leaders. The campaign has had a transformative impact on Nativity Worcester:

26 N AT I V I T Y WO R C E ST E R .O R G

The school expanded from an allboys institution to a co-divisional school, welcoming the first girls in 2024 with the establishment of the Julie Power Girls Division. Historically, Nativity Worcester educated 60 students annually.

Today, the school serves 96 students, including 40 girls. The long-term goal is to reach approximately 130 students, evenly split between boys and girls in grades five through eight, thereby doubling the number of students graduating each year.

Nativity’s Graduate Support Program has expanded scholarship offerings and strengthened support for graduates as they pursue secondary and postsecondary opportunities. The school’s educational endowment fund, which provides scholarships for students, has grown from $5 million to $12 million, strengthening longterm financial sustainability.

“

“

It is remarkable to see all that has been accomplished through the Access & Impact Campaign. Not long ago, our small school was working year to year simply to keep its doors open. When we first imagined this campaign and the possibility of opening a girls’ division, the goal felt daunting, even unattainable. Yet through the extraordinary generosity of so many, we surpassed our loftiest expectations.

Welcoming girls to Nativity for the first time was a moment many of us had dreamed of for years, and seeing that dream become reality was nothing short of magical.

Dear Friends, As we celebrate the successful completion of Access & Impact: The Campaign for Nativity School of Worcester, I am deeply grateful for the extraordinary generosity of our community. Because of you, this historic campaign surpassed its goal, raising $25 million and marking the most significant philanthropic achievement in our school’s history.

Your campaign and annual support have transformed Nativity Worcester in lasting ways. Together, you made possible the opening of the Julie Power Girls Division, expanded enrollment to serve more students, strengthened our Graduate Support Program, and grew our endowment to ensure long-term sustainability.

While we celebrate this moment, our mission continues to depend on strong annual support to sustain daily operations and provide the care, advocacy, and academic excellence that define the Nativity experience. Campaign success provides a foundation, but your ongoing generosity brings our mission to life each year.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you to our donors, volunteers, families, staff, and fellow trustees for your unwavering commitment to Nativity Worcester.

When I attend Nativity’s graduation ceremony, rather than look at the graduating students, I keep my eyes on the parents, grandparents, siblings, and other caregivers who beam with pride, have tears of joy, and see a bright future for their Nativity graduate.

A CALL TO GROW OUR MISSION As Nativity enters a new chapter of substantial growth, welcoming more students, deepening programs, and expanding opportunity, the need for your support of our mission has never mattered more.

As a trustee, I have been privileged to witness the transformative impact of Nativity’s mission, where young people discover their strengths, grow in confidence, and begin to imagine futures filled with promise.

As a career educator, I was drawn to Nativity’s mission to break down barriers and provide a transformative education that empowers young people in the City of Worcester to achieve economic and social mobility.

When I learned that the school was launching a historic campaign to establish a girls’ division and expand opportunity to an inclusive education, my commitment to Nativity grew tenfold.

Nativity Worcester is sustained by a community of donors who believe deeply in access, opportunity, and the power of education. As Nativity continues to grow, so does our shared responsibility to ensure these opportunities endure by expanding our impact, supporting a growing student body and alumni community, investing in the facilities that serve them, and equipping the faculty who make this transformative experience possible.

I am profoundly grateful to every supporter whose generosity continues to change lives. Our students stand taller because of you.

Ways to Grow Our Impact Together GIVING TO THE ANNUAL FUND Make a one-time or recurring monthly gift that provides critical unrestricted funds

that advance the school’s academic, extracurricular, and graduate support programs.

Please donate using the enclosed envelope or visit nativityworcester.org/ways-to-give.

INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF A NATIVITY STUDENT: SCHOLARSHIP GIVING Make a major impact by funding part of or the entire education of one of our

Nativity Worcester students, invest in the school’s endowment, or support future renovations for our growing student body. The school’s ability to continue to

provide a quality, tuition-free education is only possible through the generosity of

sponsors. You can also make a gift to Nativity’s endowment to ensure our long-term

sustainability. For more information or to make a scholarship donation, gift of stock, or multi-year pledge, contact Donna Stock, Vice President of Advancement, at dstock@nativityworcester.org or (508) 202-0442.

HONORARY AND MEMORIAL GIFTS

Thank you for helping us grow our mission!

Gifts to Nativity are often more than support for the school. Memorial and honorary gifts are a way to perpetuate the memory of a loved one who has passed away and an

opportunity to honor an individual who has been impactful in the donor’s life. Please see the enclosed envelope or visit www.nativityworcester.org.
