Investing in Global Leadership

The Skaruppa Family believes in the power of a global perspective. Cindy and Matt Skaruppa, parents of PYC 5/6 and Form II unicorns, Audrey and Annie, have always treasured the cultural exchanges that foster shared understanding, create lasting friendships, and form bonds between diverse communities. They also believe that CSG offers an excellent, world-class education and see a bright, bold future for our School. That’s why they are giving to help support CSG’s Global Program, which will create a fund so that every Upper School student, regardless of financial need, will have a valuable international experience, helping them develop into more confident and globally minded women of action.

“We want to do our part to ensure that CSG is the premier institution for educating girls and young women in Columbus. Investing in the Global Program is an investment in each student’s learning, relationships, and her potential to lead throughout the world. Global experiences change lives, and we were honored to provide funding to make these experiences possible for more girls,” says Matt.

Cindy adds, “All students at CSG should have the opportunity to engage with others of different backgrounds and learn lifelong lessons that go beyond borders. We see this as a chance to support CSG girls who will go on to change the world.”

Individual in Mind and Community at Heart

Santino Davis (Tino) joined CSG’s team of trailblazing faculty and esteemed staff members in the spring of 2022 as our Assistant Athletic Director. During his first year, he has truly become a part of our community—from rallying our student-athletes on and off the field and court to connecting with families in the stands to becoming a CSG dad himself, Tino knows that CSG is the best place for girls and young women in central Ohio.

“CSG stands apart from other schools in that it has exceptional faculty and staff that work with and allow the students to develop analytical skills, collaborate, and communicate effectively in preparation for their future endeavors. The students can build leadership skills and have their voices heard in an environment without the societal pressures of being in a coed situation.” Tino says.

Tino designated his gift to support faculty compensation so that CSG’s exceptional educators have what they need to continue fostering an empowering learning environment.

“I want my money to support the people who make CSG a special place. Because of our incredible faculty, our students excel academically and have fun while doing it too. I can’t wait for my daughters to have the chance to experience all that CSG has to offer!”
