Our First Campaign - “Foundation for the Future”

Our School’s first-ever capital campaign – “Foundation for the Future” – was a three-year program begun in 1992. Its goal was to raise $3.5 million for these well-defined purposes:

  • Retire the balance owed on the School’s purchase in 1991 of its basic campus property.

  • Provide additional classroom space for all levels, pre-K through Middle School, including new buildings for Upper Elementary and Middle School.

  • Build a 3600 sq. ft play pavilion, which the School had never had.

  • Renovation of existing classroom buildings and fellowship hall buildings for new uses.

  • Much-expanded parking facilities, inter-campus drives and newly-configured campus.

These objectives were achieved in the 1990's and today’s School of the Woods students and parents enjoy the new facilities.


ABOVE: The driveway (aka carpool line) serves an educational purpose as it is lined with native Texas plants. On the right is the remodeled Studio for Dance and Theatre Arts.

ABOVE: Middle School building and a portion of the adjacent play pavilion. The new building designs feature large expanses of glass which create a feeling of openess and contact with nature.

ABOVE: Exterior patio for lower elementary classroom. With the mild Houston winters, this area can be used almost year round.
