Gulliver Prep
Transformation. Together. 2026.
This comprehensive campaign – the first of its kind at Gulliver Prep – has energized a bold plan for Gulliver’s future by supporting the physical transformation of our campuses. In this multi-phase initiative, we are building on our commitment to excellence by providing facilities that position Gulliver as a global leader in independent school education.

We negotiated with Crossbridge Church to swap land parcels for the improvement of our Upper School Campus’ footprint and parking, while increasing our usable space to ultimately allow for our Upper School students to unify on one campus.

In March 2021, we broke ground on a new 60,000 square foot, $40 million Center for Student Life at the Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus. On October 8, 2022, we celebrated the opening of this transformative building. The Center for Student Life enhances the student experience, renews our campus, and ensures Gulliver continues to thrive long into the future.
We also completed additional infrastructure improvements, including renovations to the PK-8 Campus, and work on the Kendall Loop and other roadways around the Upper School Campus, as well as improved traffic flow, increased parking, and a new entrance. With the completion of the Tennis Complex at the PK-8 Campus, Phase II is now complete.

On March 2, 2024, we opened the first building in Phase III – our new Academic Building at the Upper School Campus. This 21,500-square-foot facility is home to many of our Signature Academic Programs, including Digital Mass Media, Engineering, International Business & Entrepreneurship, International Diplomacy & Legal Studies, and Architecture.
The Academic Building also features a teacher planning space, several common areas for fostering community and collaboration, and cloud spaces for flexible teaching and learning. The facility sits next to the newly renovated Sean Taylor ‘01 Memorial Field and enlarged softball field. Enhancing the overall experience at our athletic events, the Academic Building includes a press box, concession stand, and increased spectator seating with 4,600 square feet of covered bleachers.
On August 17, 2024, we kicked off the school year with the opening of our new Athletic Center, Woolworth Family Executive Offices, and Parking Garage at the Upper School Campus. Our new 38,580-square-foot Athletic Center features an indoor track, gymnasium, weight room, locker rooms, spirit store, and more. The addition of a Parking Garage not only improves on-campus parking options but also provides a new home for our Executive Offices on campus.
The completion of the Athletic Center, Woolworth Family Executive Offices, and Parking Garage concludes Phase III of our Capital Campaign, allowing us to unite all of our students, faculty, and staff on two campuses – culminating years of dedicated effort.
Cost: $40 Million

The focus of Phase IV is our new Arts Center, designed to support our music, dance, and theatre programs with practice and rehearsal spaces and the best lighting, sound, and production capabilities. At Gulliver, we believe that the arts are a pathway to confidence, communication, and a strong sense of self, pillars that mirror our core values.
This new Arts Center will benefit all Gulliver students and further strengthen and unite our community with exceptional spaces.
Cost: $52 Million

Implementing Phase V allows Gulliver to successfully conclude our master plan with our campus and community fully transformed. This final phase focuses on developing flexible classrooms that work for larger projects and adapt for small group work, improving event and common spaces both indoors and outdoors, and building an upgraded dining facility and community gathering space – the final step in our Upper School Campus unification plan.
Cost: $10 Million

Transformation. Together. 2026.
Gulliver’s campaign will build on our mission and commitment to excellence by providing facilities that position Gulliver as a global leader in independent school education. Our community, in leading this campaign, will play a vital role by ensuring our exceptional students and faculty have access to unparalleled, world-class educational opportunities for generations to come.
Grounded by Our Mission
Founded in 1926 by Arthur Gulliver and transformed under the visionary leadership of Marian C. Krutulis in the second half of the 20th century, Gulliver Preparatory School has been a leading school of distinction for nearly 100 years.
Today, we remain steadfast to the mission first set by Mrs. Krutulis: to create an academic community devoted to educational excellence, with a personal touch, that fulfills each student’s potential. We advance her vision to ensure Gulliver thrives well into the future – a future she secured by incorporating the school as a nonprofit institution over 20 years ago – by embracing change as a vehicle for growth.
Support Transformation
Gulliver provides opportunities for students to be bold. It is with that same spirit we embark on this campaign. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Gulliver relies on the support of our community to make our bold dreams a reality. This campaign is an opportunity for you to leave your mark on Gulliver. Together we can partner to transform Gulliver for tomorrow and for generations to come.
