Worcester Academy officials announced Monday that they have raised $52.2 million in a multi-year capital campaign that included $15 million from one anonymous donor.

The funds that were raised through the “ONWARD: The Campaign for Worcester Academy” exceeded the school’s $50-million goal. The money will pay for new construction and numerous building infrastructure projects, along with property acquisitions and increases to the endowment.

Among the academy’s accomplishments during the campaign were:

  • A $16-million investment in the renovation of Walker Hall as a LEED-certified and state-of-the-art humanities center;
  • An approximately $4-million purchase of remaining acreage at the former St. Vincent Hospital property at the corner of nearby Providence and Winthrop streets;
  • The $3.2-million construction of Morse Field, a lighted turf field on the former St. Vincent Hospital property, accessible to the Union Hill community;
  • The creation of numerous endowed funds for scholarships and for programs that support community service, visual arts, music, athletics, applied technology, science, professional development and faculty recognition.

Worcester Academy is an independent co-ed day and boarding school for grades 6 to 12 and postgraduates.
