The Foxcroft Circle

Young women learn best when challenged by an interdisciplinary and experiential curriculum. That's why, at this all girls private boarding school in Virginia, you'll find girls flying drones across campus, developing apps in Schoolhouse, writing poetry on the banks of Goose Creek, and utilizing our current construction projects to learn about engineering. The Foxcroft Circle, previously the Annual Fund, makes these experiences possible.

The Turf Fields are Open!
11/29/2018
In late October, students were elated to hear that the new turf fields were open for play, knowing full well what the project means to Foxcroft Athletics and its participants. It brings the fields up to regulation size for field hockey, lacrosse, and soccer; eliminates the slope of the fields; and addresses the poor condition of the playing surfaces. It provides an all-weather option for softball and adds a practice track that makes a spring track program possible. Plus, the facility now includes new scoreboards, stadium seating, handicap access, and conduit for future lighting.

Several lead gifts in support of our multi-sport turf fields have been received but, as the project nears completion, the School community is invited to participate in this momentous gift to Foxcroft athletes, current and future. Make a general donation or choose a naming opportunity to honor an athlete, coach, or family members. Naming opportunities range from a stadium seat ($500) or team bench ($5,000) to the two regulation-size fields ($500,000 each).

For details or to make a gift online, visit www.foxcroft.org/turf. If you would like to discuss naming opportunities or have any questions, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement (540.687.4510; advancement@foxcroft.org).
