Gulliver is excited to announce that Jason and Katie Goldstrich P ‘40 have made a generous gift in support of The Next 100: The Centennial Campaign for Gulliver. In recognition of their commitment, this gift names the Goldstrich Family Courtyard on the Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus — an enduring space that honors Gulliver’s rich legacy while welcoming many generations of Raiders to come.
The Goldstrich family is new to Gulliver this year, with their daughter joining PK last fall. From the very beginning, they were inspired by the way our school nurtures confidence, independence, and curiosity — qualities they know will shape not only their daughter’s journey at Gulliver, but the impact she will one day make in the world.
“From the moment we stepped on campus, we knew it was the perfect place for our family. What truly sealed the deal was knowing that our children’s individuality would be seen, nurtured, and celebrated every step of the way,” said Jason and Katie Goldstrich.
The Goldstrich Family Courtyard is a historic and vibrant outdoor gathering space, receiving students, families, and faculty as they pass through the doors of the Manor House each day. More than a place, it is a symbol of connection, belonging, and shared experience, and a powerful testament to the Goldstrich family’s belief in education and community.
“What excites us most is seeing Gulliver invest in spaces where real community happens — places where students, families, and educators can gather, linger, and connect beyond the classroom,” said Jason and Katie. “Knowing that we get to play a small part in that evolution, and that our children will make memories in those very spaces, makes us feel deeply rooted in the school’s story and hopeful about the kind of community they will inherit and one day lead.”
One hundred years in the making, Gulliver now stands at a pivotal moment in its history with the launch of The Next 100, a $100 million comprehensive campaign shaping the school’s future as a national model for personalized learning and academic excellence, and premier STEAM institution. Anchored in three strategic priorities — Next-Level Teaching & Learning, Thriving Students, and Building Our Future — the campaign ensures Gulliver will continue to attract and retain the nation’s top talent, offer academically rigorous and life-enriching experiences for every child, and create learning and gathering spaces that foster engagement and instruction.

“This moment in Gulliver’s history feels incredibly personal to our family because the school is growing in ways that honor its heritage and long-standing traditions, and it truly feels as though we are standing on the precipice of something extraordinary,” said Jason and Katie.
