"Transforming Our Future" Campaign
Hero Treatment
Thanks to the generosity of many, our School's historic comprehensive campaign, the Transforming Our Future campaign was a success!
The Morristown-Beard School community has much to be proud of! Thanks to the generosity of many, our School's historic comprehensive campaign, Transforming Our Future, has been successfully completed!
Join Head of School Peter Caldwell in a celebratory toast to the most successful campaign in the history of Morristown-Beard School!:
This community-wide effort has fully funded the construction of the stunning $12.6 million Math & Science Center that opened in the fall of 2018 along with the $2 million Center for Innovation & Design that opened in 2019. Wilkie Hall is now home to an extraordinary new teaching tool – Science on a Sphere, and the Simon Athletic Center and Rooke Pool have undergone significant improvements. Continued support of the Morristown-Beard Fund—as well as gifts to endowment and scholarship—positioned us well to reach and exceed our overall campaign goal of $20 million by 2020.
Thank you to all of you who have chosen to support this historic campaign. We invite you to read about our achievements and some exciting new initiatives that are propelling Morristown-Beard School to the forefront of independent school education.

Science on a Sphere
Wilkie Hall is now home to an extraordinary new teaching tool – Science on a Sphere.

What Was the Transforming Our Future Campaign?
The Transforming Our Future campaign was an ambitious five-year campaign to further distinguish Morristown-Beard School as an institution of excellence. The goal of the campaign–to raise $20 million by 2020–was met and the campaign truly was a success.
The MBS community clearly understands the impact physical space can have on teaching and learning. From the completion of the Math & Science Center to the renovations to the Simon Athletic Center and Rooke Pool, MBS is unwavering in its commitment to providing the very best environment for growth and success. With fundraising underway for the new Center for Innovation & Design, we continue to enhance the beauty and functionality of our 22-acre campus – made possible only with your help!
