Modern education owes its place to the foresight of generations before us. Wilderness was fortunate to be founded on the vision and philanthropy of the Brown sisters, who understood the need to invest in the education of girls. It is through the ongoing generosity of our donors that Wilderness School will continue as a world-leader in education, enabling each girl to be her best.

There are many ways to demonstrate your support for Wilderness. Whether through the gift of education by establishing a scholarship or prize, the development of our facilities, or leaving a gift in will, we are able to make a difference to our girls’ futures. Every contribution counts and your gift of any size is appreciated.

Etched for Generations

A Permanent Tribute. A Powerful Impact.

We are excited to announce a unique opportunity as part of our Masterplan: a limited-edition courtyard wall artwork designed to honour key supporters who help build the future of our school.

The Margaret Brown Building is poised to be the heart of our global learning ecosystem, seamlessly bridging our School with the broader realms of industry and academia. This building will serve as a cornerstone for collaboration, bringing together students, educators, and visionary partners.

With a donation of $2,500 or more, your name (or your family name) will be engraved in a prominent new installation in the heart of our campus.

30 names. One wall. A lifetime of legacy.

Scholarships

The generosity of our community enables us to offer a number of scholarships each year to girls who have demonstrated outstanding academic ability, a commitment to pursuing further academic success, and who embody our School Values with a particular focus on Responsible Citizenship.

Scholarships have been a consistent part of the story of Wilderness School and are a vital ingredient in the continuing diversity and vibrancy of our learning community. We celebrate an enduring culture and commitment to giving through the spirit of service or, more fundamentally, enabling an education for those students who otherwise may not have this opportunity.
