MESSAGE FROM DREW STEPHENS �e�� of �c�oo�

There is a reason Southridge feels different from other schools and – at its root – I believe it’s the way we come together for the common good. We bond over shared values, over our community’s desire to create an environment in which children can realize their potential, and take their skills and passions out into the world with confidence, clarity, and commitment.

For 25 years, Southridge has focused on developing the innovative programs and curriculum, talented faculty, and committed community that have helped our students succeed. It’s made us a leader in academic excellence, but more than that, it’s given our graduates the thinking skills, knowledge, creativity, and emotional intelligence they need to thrive and contribute in a fast-changing world.

As a school, our commitment to preparing our students for the future has never been stronger, and it is time to turn our attention to our physical environment. Southridge’s programs, curriculum, and culture are designed to support what we value most - our students. Our buildings, classrooms, and grounds need to do the same.

We are at a critical point in our history where our ability to deliver certain programs, and encourage our students to achieve larger, more ambitious projects, is limited by our space. As a community, we have never believed in settling for less; we have always imagined possibilities and acted on them. Indeed, Southridge only exists because a committed group of people were determined to provide a better educational experience.

It is time – once again – to act with that same vision and commitment. Our Way Forward:The Campaign for Southridge is a student-centred, proactive plan to expand and upgrade our campus. It will ensure that Southridge continues to be a place where ideas, passions, and connections flourish, in facilities that support the growth of the essential skills and character that will help our students achieve success.

Please join us as we write the next chapter in our story.
