CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS
Whitefield Academy continues to hold fast to its founding vision and core values of academic excellence, covenantal education, enrollment reflecting the racial, ethnic, and economic diversity within the body of Christ, effective servant leadership, faithful stewardship, and modeling excellent Christian education. Whitefield’s strategic plan aims to serve a 1,200 student body that is large enough for each student to participate in a variety of programs, but small enough that each student is known and is recognized for their God-given gifts and talents. In 2015, The Whitefield Academy Board of Trustees approved a master plan that would meet the facility needs of a 1,200 student body.
The master plan below illustrates what has been built to date and what is planned for the future. These projects transform the way in which students experience a Christ-centered education. Whitefield plans and implements capital campaign initiatives to raise funds for brick-and-mortar projects to complete the master plan.
The campus exists today because of the generous giving of those before and the legacy of their giving continues to impact generations of the WolfPack. Capital campaign gifts are typically paid over a multi-year pledge period and are separate from annual giving.
