Castilleja Reimagined

Castilleja Reimagined Castilleja is proposing plans for a modernized campus that meets the educational needs of the 21st century. Our goaI?

Improve the neighborhood feel, move street parking below ground, open educational opportunities to more women, and modernize the campus.

05/19/2022

In 2016, we submitted an application to modernize our campus, to educate more women, and to improve conditions in our neighborhood. Six years later, we have a plan that offers more opportunity and reduces traffic.

The City of Palo Alto - Public Agency is set to vote on Monday, May 23. If you’re a Palo Alto resident, please tell them — today — that you support Castilleja’s mission, and our plan to modernize for the future of women’s education.

More opportunity, less traffic. Why not?

Compromise (noun): an agreement or a settlement of dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

"After 9 years, 55 neighborhood meetings, and 6 rounds of project revisions to reflect community feedback, it's clear that Castilleja knows how to compromise."

FROM SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING TO COMPETITIVE WATER POLO
Athletic facilities are mainstays in K–12 schools, and for good reason–athletics augment children’s physical and social/emotional development. Castilleja students excel in the classroom and in their athletic endeavors. This is critical at a time when many female athletes still face barriers in high-level competition. Since the 1920s, we have been fortunate to provide our students with access to a pool for their fitness needs. Today, it is home to our competitive water polo and swim teams. An updated pool is one of the exciting elements of our campus modernization plan. Learn more about that plan: https://www.castilleja.org/community/castilleja-reimagined-2021

ENGAGING IN PALO ALTO FROM THANKSGIVING BOXES TO ADA’S CAFE

From packing Thanksgiving boxes in the 1930s to volunteering with Ada’s Cafe starting in the 2010s, Castilleja has engaged with the Palo Alto community for generations. Over the years, Castilleja’s partners have included the European Relief Council during World War I, the Red Cross during World War II, and Amnesty International during the 1980s.

Castilleja has called its campus home for over 110 years. While much has changed since that time, the fundamental mission of the school has remained the same: to prepare girls to become confident thinkers and compassionate leaders throughout the world. Our century-long history highlights the many ways in which education has evolved, drastic changes in how our students and faculty live their daily lives, as well as the difficult times our community has overcome.

Only a decade after opening its doors, Castilleja had to navigate teaching and learning during its first global pandemic: the Spanish Flu. And just as students in 1918 gathered on the Circle, the school’s central gathering place located in the interior of campus, Castilleja students again came together during the COVID-19 pandemic over 100 years later (this time, with six feet of distancing). We are grateful we could continue to educate our students and keep them healthy throughout challenging times.
