Great schools look forward and set ambitious goals.
With our mission to guide Study girls to reach their fullest
potential, we set out in 2014-2015 to lay the groundwork
for our new 2015-2020 Strategic Plan. Bringing parents,
past parents, alumnae, faculty and staff, leadership teams,
administrators and students together to consider the
question ‘why do we do what we do?’ helped us to define and
plan for The Study of tomorrow. In doing so, our ability to be
collectively introspective, to share varied perspectives and
to be forward thinking has greatly helped us to determine
our own future.
Students with a strong sense of community are more likely
to be successful both academically, and overall in their lives,
and this community is built thanks to our collaboration.
There is both simplicity and power in participation, and
we are strongest with the support of the entire Study
community. Gifts of money, time and expertise to The Study
are investments in our girls’ future, and participation at all
levels has made a true difference.
Chair, The Study Board of Governors
I would like to sincerely thank you for your involvement in
this process. The Study’s mission to support the development
of young women as leaders, innovators and life-long learners
truly does matter. As we dream together, great leaders are
just getting started at The Study.
Chair and Vice-Chair, The Study School Foundation
Thanks to your generous gifts, and to careful financial
planning and investing, The Study School Foundation has
grown steadily over the past years. Guided by our mantra to
Get (raise more funds), Guard (be good stewards), and Grow
(allow these funds to grow), our endowed funds totalled
nearly $5.3 million on June 30th, 2015. Going forward, the
Dare to Dream Campaign will allow The Study to embrace
a sound and sustainable financial model of autonomy while
continuing to offer the same level of educational excellence
at stable tuition rates.
Achieving financial autonomy will be one of the most
visionary and transformational changes the school has
undertaken in the last 100 years, setting the stage for the next
century. This is an exciting time to ‘Give and Get Involved’
at The Study as we unite together to empower our girls with
the gift of education.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our Study community
for your gifts of time, expertise, and financial support. You have helped to make
The Study the quintessential place for girls to learn and grow. We are stronger
together, and your gifts have a true impact on the future of our girls.”
YOUR GIFTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
HEAD’S INiTIATIVES FUND
Nancy Lewis Sweer
Head of School
I believe in our girls, in our staff and faculty, and in our
Study community. We teach your daughters to be creative in
their approach to problem solving; we cultivate their broad
range of interests, as well as their love of learning. Everything
we do at The Study focuses on guiding girls to be exceptional
as they reach for their personal best, and discover their place
in this world both as individuals and as valued members of
our global community.
We help our girls to evolve through the development of best
practices in every aspect of school life. The Head’s Initiatives
fund supports professional development, and drives us
to consider what tomorrow’s world may look like as we
creatively embrace new initiatives that support our Strategic
Plan. Thanks to your gifts, our staff and faculty provide the
innovative programs that will catapult our girls, successfully,
into the future.
Report On Giving 2014 – 2015
The Head’s Initiatives fund also supports experiential
learning programs. Learning to code starts in Grade 1.
More than sixty of our girls are engaged in robotics,
and many are developing game apps or creating 3D
animation. Art projects combine visual beauty and complex
collaborative storytelling, and mindfulness practices have
helped our girls to appreciate the present moment. As well
with support from the Head’s Initiatives fund, we proudly
welcomed over 200 students and teachers from Quebec and
Ontario to our third Annual Leadership Conference.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members
of our Study community for your gifts of time, expertise,
and financial support. You have helped to make The Study
the quintessential place for girls to learn and grow. We are
stronger together, and your gifts have a true impact on the
future of our girls.

Transforming Lives
World-class academic institutions such as The Study
recognize that the most outstanding young minds and great
spirits deserve the opportunity to excel, regardless of their
families’ financial circumstances. Thanks to the generosity
of our donors we remain committed to removing barriers to
accessibility, via merit-based scholarships that acknowledge
outstanding academic results and promise, and need-based
bursaries which aim to make a Study education as affordable
as possible. The Study is proud to have granted financial
assistance and awards totaling $426,683, in 2014-2015, to
over 22% of our students.
“The Study is proud to have granted
financial assistance and awards
totaling $426,683 in 2014-2015,
to over 22% of our students.”
When designating your gift to our Direct-Funded Bursaries
and Scholarships Fund, or to our Endowed Margaret
Gascoigne Bursary Fund, lives are transformed and our
student body becomes richer in its diversity. Great women
leaders of tomorrow learn in a school where value is placed
on critical and innovative thinking, not financial position.
For a student receiving assistance, it can be life-changing
for both her and her family. The possibility of a broader
educational experience is nurtured for all in a climate of
diversity. Peer-motivation within a deeper pool of gifted and
hard-working young women, striving to be their best, pushes
all girls to reach their fullest potential.
“Great women leaders of tomorrow
learn in a school where value is
placed on critical and innovative
thinking, not financial position.”
Thank you for helping us to ensure that your daughters
and their friends, tomorrow’s leaders, can be all that they
aspire to be. Your gift is truly a gift of opportunity.

“We all knew my daughter was a Study girl from
her first interview, but the cost of the education
was daunting. We were fortunate that The Study
recognized the ‘Study girl spark’ in our daughter,
and have graced us with the amazing opportunity
of financial assistance that allows her to study
here. It has been by far the biggest influence
outside of our home. To wonder if she will become
a strong pillar of our community in the future
goes without saying. The core tenets of The Study
run through her, and for that we are forever
grateful. Thanks to you, we are able to give her an
opportunity like no other.”

---------« The Study est une école centenaire dont le coeur
se porte à merveille! The Study est une écolefamille aimante qui soutient ‘ses filles’ lorsqu’elles
font face à un obstacle, à un défi, ou même à une
difficulté financière. Cette année, l’obtention d’une
bourse d’étude a fait toute la différence dans la
vie émotionnelle et scolaire de notre fille en lui
assurant une sécurité dans la continuité de son
parcours académique. »

Enriched learning
for all
Today in education, ‘how we learn’ is an exciting area of
scientific research. At The Study, we work together with
our teachers to develop informed and refined pedagogy
with concrete, versatile, kinesthetic and interactive strategies.
Using integrated educational technology, research-based
practices and a specialized teaching approach, we target
and support individualized learning profiles to enhance
the strengths and address the needs of all Study students.
Our skilled educators outline best practices in note-taking,
concept development, organizational skills and basic
study habits.
Thanks to generous gifts to the Enrichment Centre, we took
a big leap forward in 2014-2015. A new window brings in
natural light, and the feeling of open space has completely
changed the ambiance of the room. “More welcoming”,
“comfortable”, “relaxed” and “calm” are words used by our
students who are using this space.
New tables, chairs and a projector offer our educators the
flexibility to interact individually and in small groups,
allowing us to meet the needs of more students. On any
given day, the Enrichment Centre addresses the needs of our
Sports Flex students, and those who need time to catch up, in
addition to also welcoming students looking to refine their
study skills and expand their personal learning.
Our toolbox includes advanced educational technology.
Interactive notebooks and pens allow the written word to be
transferred to pdf format; iPads with specialized apps boost
literacy teaching in English and French; stress balls, noise
cancelling headphones and wiggle seats quiet fidgeting and
increase concentration; comfy bean bag chairs help students
focus on enjoyment versus frustration when problem
solving or trying something new. The impact of your gifts
is tangible – your support has made this a truly amazing
learning space. We, and our Study girls, thank you.
Report On Giving 2014 – 2015
La vie française
La compréhension des traditions culturelles commence par
l’apprentissage de la langue et l’habilité à communiquer.
À The Study, notre programme de langue maternelle
bilingue au niveau primaire est axé non seulement sur la
communication orale, la lecture et l’écriture, mais également
sur une immersion dans la riche culture québécoise.
Lorsque les élèves sont à l’aise et ne se sentent pas inhibées,
l’apprentissage d’une langue se fait plus naturellement.
Grâce à nos généreux donateurs, notre Francozone est en
voie de devenir l’un des espaces préférés de l’école primaire,
et nous sommes emballés par l’avenir qui lui est réservé.
Nous avons aménagé un nouvel « espace salon » au design
flexible et baigné de lumière naturelle, et l’avons équipé
de sofas confortables. Nous y avons invité Annie Groovie,
une personnalité québécoise, afin qu’elle nous parle de
ses expériences et de l’expression créative par l’entremise
de ses personnages imaginaires. Auteure et illustratrice de
littérature pour enfants, Annie a parlé du pouvoir de l’amitié,
de l’imagination et du rêve. Son sourire et son enthousiasme
ont rempli la pièce. Vos dons ont permis à nos élèves de
vivres des experiences dont elles se souviendront toujours.
Can you build it?
The Study’s Makerspace is our indoor tech playground, and
girls ‘play’ here every day. Our mantra? If you can imagine
it, you can build it. The excitement starts in Grade 1 and
continues through high school. Coding, programming,
game development, 3D scanning and printing, electrical and
mechanical engineering – it all happens here. This space is
where the freedom to create uses many forms of technology –
mixing and matching science, engineering and the arts –
in architecture, robotics, electronics and engineering projects
that teach our girls to collaborate and think as designers.
Thanks to your generosity, Study girls have cutting
edge tools at their fingertips, and together, they learn
to love to build.

An Invitation to Become
the Newest Member
of the 1915 Society
Planned giving demonstrates long-term thinking and sets
the example for others by highlighting the importance
of preserving our legacy of excellence for generations to
come. It has the potential to perpetuate something of great
value and meaning, and may be the ultimate gift you can
make, both in size and finality.
What better way to celebrate the values of education, or
to celebrate your own special memories of The Study and
how it has changed your life, than to make a Planned Gift.
With many different Planned Giving options, you can realize
your own personal philanthropic goals.
Education at The Study is about changing lives and creating
opportunities. We invite you to join the 1915 Planned Giving
Society and to be part of The Study’s vision for the future,
to establish a legacy for yourself and your loved ones, and
to deepen your connection to The Study. Through Planned
Giving you can make a difference in the life of each Study girl
who is learning to make her own mark on the world.

Dare to Dream
The Study’s Campaign
for the Second Century
Greatness and innovation stem from dreams, and yet dreams
only happen when the conditions are right.
The Study’s Centennial has stimulated us to look back and
celebrate our achievements. It has also provided the occasion
to consider what challenges and opportunities the next
century will bring for the school – and what can be done
to ensure its continued growth, success and relevance.
A goal of $8,750,000 for The Study’s Dare to Dream
Campaign ensures our ability to resolve the school’s current
challenges, and achieve a new level of innovation, autonomy
and excellence. It will take us to a place where all dreams can
become realities.
How can we make
this possible?
We are fully aware that the excellence provided by The Study
today is only possible because of those who came before
us. Parents, alumnae, board members and friends, working
alongside teachers and administrators, invested time and
money to assure The Study would be the best school possible
for future students, their parents and us.
They dreamed for us – and
we must keep on dreaming.
We therefore invite you to Dare to Dream with us.

How our Endowment is Growing
and Why This is Important
Jill de Villafranca
Treasurer, The Study School Foundation
The Study School Foundation is a charitable organization,
distinct and separate from The Study, and is responsible
for the fundraising that benefits The Study. It oversees
the stewarding of funds raised, and the investing of gifts
designated to our Endowment, in order to both increase
the principal and be in a strong position to support the
educational mission of The Study.
During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2015, the
Foundation increased its net assets by an amount of almost
$233,000 after having contributed $593,168 to The Study.
This achievement results from generous donations to our
Endowment and to direct-funded designated programs,
positive market conditions and sound investing strategies.
The Foundation had $5,285,709 in assets as of June 30, 2015.
We expect to see a marked increase in the value of our
Endowment over the next two years with the ongoing
success of the Dare to Dream Campaign, as donors make
commitments and begin to honour their pledges. As the
size of our asset base grows, the Foundation will be able to
increase its annual disbursement to The Study, supporting
the strategic initiatives the Board of Governors has identified
in its newly released Strategic Plan.
The growth of our Endowment is crucial to the current
and future success of Study students. Going forward, the
Endowment will provide the resources necessary for financial
autonomy and sustainability while continuing to allow for
greater flexibility and enhanced program enrichment.
The growth of our Endowment is
crucial to the current and future
success of Study students.
What is an
Endowment Fund?
An endowment is a pool of money invested to grow but also
to generate income that can support current needs. The
pool of money (the principal) remains invested and only a
percentage of the income generated is used, thus providing
stable financial support for the school in the present, while
also allowing the principal to grow over the long-term.
Why give to The Study’s
Endowment Fund?
All gifts and donations are deeply appreciated – every gift
makes a difference. It is a contribution to the endowment
funds that becomes a gift that keeps on giving, a gift for the
present and the future, for your daughter and your daughter’s
daughters, a gift that grows in perpetuity. When donating
to The Study’s endowment funds, you enable the school to
dare to dream.
