A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear Portledge Community,
The 2024-2025 school year marked a historic milestone—Portledge School’s 60th anniversary. As I look back on a school year filled with celebration, transformation, and achievement, I am filled with deep pride and immense gratitude for all that we have accomplished together; all of it made possible by your unwavering support and generosity.
We began the year by opening The Chen Center: Athletic and Wellness Building, the result of our largest capital campaign to date. This remarkable space has already become a hub for student life, fitness, and wellness programming. We also successfully completed our ten-year NYSAIS accreditation, a significant endorsement of our school’s strength and future-readiness. Our Strategic Plan 2022–2025 came to a close with meaningful progress across every goal area, and we expanded our academic offerings by achieving full accreditation for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program—extending our IB continuum from the Diploma Programme to the Lower School.
Our students continue to inspire us. The Class of 2025, one of the largest graduating classes in our history, leaves behind an indelible legacy. With college acceptances to many of the top universities in the country—including four Ivy League schools—this class exemplifies the impact of a Portledge education rooted in kindness, honor, purpose, and respect.
In addition to academic and strategic milestones, we experienced an extraordinary year of community engagement. Our annual Gala was the most successful in the last decade, raising a record-breaking amount in a beautiful new venue with a fresh theme and the same beloved spirit. The Portledge Fund not only met but surpassed its goal, thanks to the incredible generosity of parents, alumni, faculty, and friends of the school.
Your support has enabled us to enhance the student experience in unique and meaningful ways. Our students benefit from state-of-the-art film equipment, dynamic arts programming, championship athletics, and communitywide events that strengthen school spirit and
belonging. Every gift recognized within this booklet had a direct impact on the course of the year, ensuring all students access to the resources, opportunities, and experiences that make a Portledge education extraordinary.
Thank you for being an essential part of this unforgettable year in Portledge’s story. Your belief in our mission continues to propel us forward as we prepare the next generation of thoughtful leaders and compassionate global citizens.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Simon Owen-Williams Head of
School
DEAR PORTLEDGE COMMUNITY,
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your continued support of Portledge School throughout the 2024-2025 academic year.
Your generosity is a powerful reflection of your commitment to enriching the lives of our students. It strengthens our academic programs and student experiences while reinforcing our core pillars of Kindness, Honor, Purpose, and Respect. Your support also uplifts our exceptional faculty and staff, whose dedication shapes the heart of our school.
Through the Portledge Fund, your contributions have enabled us to offer dynamic programs that foster critical thinking and creativity in a rapidly evolving world. From the arts to athletics, across all divisions—Lower, Middle, and Upper School—your impact is felt daily. Your generosity also helps us attract and retain outstanding educators who deliver rigorous, student-centered learning through initiatives like our International Baccalaureate and STEAM programs.
This year has been especially meaningful. We proudly celebrated Portledge’s 60th anniversary, a milestone made possible by decades of community partnership. We also completed our state-of-the-art Athletic Wellness Center (The Chen Center), a transformative space that will benefit every student. And we’re thrilled to have received approval for the Primary Years Program in our Lower School, further strengthening our commitment to excellence from the earliest grades.
As I conclude my term as President of the Board of Trustees, I want to express my deep appreciation for the opportunity to serve this incredible community. It has been an honor to work alongside so many passionate and dedicated individuals. I am confident that Portledge is in excellent hands, and I wish our incoming President, Lindsey Barnett, continued success as she leads us into the next chapter.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for all you do to make Portledge a vibrant, supportive community for more than 500 children.
Warm regards,
Don Wilson President, Board of Trustees

GIFTS OF CASH
Contributions can reduce your income taxes significantly while providing welcome support for Portledge.
GIFTS OF APPRECIATED PROPERTY
A gift of appreciated securities may be particularly advantageous, allowing the donor to take a deduction for the full current value by avoiding capital gains tax.
PLANNED GIFTS
There are a variety of planned giving vehicles a donor might consider, from bequests of insurance policies to charitable trust agreements. Some arrangements will double as investment opportunities providing the donor or the school with annual income, some will enhance tax savings, but all satisfy the philanthropic intention of the donor. Contact your financial planner for advice on how to choose the option that will most benefit you.
MATCHING GIFTS
Many corporations match their employees’ and retired employees’ charitable contributions with a contribution of their own. This is an excellent way to double your gift to the school.
As we conclude our 60th Anniversary celebration, we are grateful for the opportunities this milestone has given us to reflect on our history and envision the future of Portledge.
