Rising Together Campaign

The Rising Together Campaign is a community-driven three-year fundraising initiative launched in 2023–24 to help our school grow, innovate, and adapt to the evolving needs of our students. Together, we’re equipping students with the academic, emotional, and social tools they need to build a bright and promising future.

Celebrating Our Impact

Thanks to the generosity of an initial group of lead parent and alumni donors, we’ve already raised over €1.3 million in pledges and donations toward our €3 million goal by 2028, a powerful reflection of our community’s belief in ASB’s future. Every gift brings us closer to what we can achieve together, ensuring that ASB students benefit from transformative experiences today and in the future.

Your gift will accelerate our Strategic Plan, which includes:
  1. Caring and Belonging: Designing programs, professional development, and learning experiences so that every community member feels a strong sense of connection, belonging, and support.

  2. Deeper Learning: Cultivating relevant, real world engagements that foster autonomy, inquiry, innovation and connection to ourselves, each other, and our changing world. 

  3. Expanded Connectivity: Strengthening bonds that connect and extend our work beyond the school gates into Barcelona and the international arena.

Additionally, the school has developed a facilities improvement plan that includes a new gymnasium, more high school classrooms, a state-of-the-art auditorium, a new cafeteria space, and libraries. 

 

Our Vision for Tomorrow: Upcoming Facility Projects

With your partnership, we’re transforming our campus step by step to create extraordinary spaces for learning, growth, and community, today and for generations to come.
