Letter from the Headmaster: Onward

Over the past two years, our notions of community have been tested beyond measure. At Lausanne, we deeply value personal connections — with our students, our faculty and our families. Upon returning to school in August, I felt like that connection — that spark — was back. Campus finally felt like the pre-pandemic Lausanne we all remember.

Thanks to our forward-thinking mindset, last year was defined not by our challenges but instead by the incredible achievements of our students, the tireless dedication of our faculty and you — through your generous gifts of time, financial resources, energy and good will. Thus, I can say with great pride, gratitude and awe that we enjoyed our most successful year of fundraising and volunteerism in more than five years.

At Lausanne, we believe that the best way to honor our mission is with a clear and inspiring vision for our future. As we begin to pave the way for our centennial, we move forward with a keen awareness that the fervent desire for discovery we see in our students and the unparalleled manner in which our faculty guide them forward is what defines Lausanne’s legacy.

I hope you will take action today by pledging your philanthropic support, no matter the size of your gift, so that Lausanne can chart a clear path to a brighter, bolder and even more extraordinary tomorrow.

Join us as we forge our future.
