ONE WISH - ONE CAMPUS
The goal of the ONE WISH - ONE CAMPUS capital campaign is to raise $10M to help establish one location for all WISH TK-12 pupils and create an educational center to better serve students and benefit fellow educators and the broader community. In addition to supporting thousands of families locally, our new campus will be a development center hosting to visiting educators from all over the world, indirectly helping millions of students globally.
ONE WISH
In thirteen years, the award-winning Westside Innovative School House (WISH), a non-profit public school, has accomplished so much. We’ve grown from 136 TK-3rd grade students and ten educators to over 1,100 TK-12th grade students and more than 110 educators, with over 100 specialty classes, clubs, and athletic teams. We currently have a waiting list of over 1,300 students and families who passionately hope to join the WISH family.
We’ve transformed WISH from an aspiration grounded in excellence and inclusion to a sought-out destination for visiting educators from 26 states and 12 countries, all inspired by our mission and our impact. WISH is now nationally and internationally recognized as a leader and innovator in the whole scholar approach to education based on social justice through inclusivity.
What will our next decade hold? What is the way forward? Elevating our future success and finding a more permanent home is the purpose of the ONE WISH - ONE CAMPUS Campaign, as we make the next decade as magical and productive as the last. And, for that, we need your support, to join others who have supported us before (link to previous donors page), serve more students and families within WISH’s atmosphere of caring and belonging, and share our educational model with leaders in business and education.
