We moved quickly on a unique opportunity here at Timothy to acquire additional real estate. In recent years, open seats at Timothy have been hard to come by in most grade levels. Although this is rare in Christian education—at least in states like ours with no school choice initiatives—it can also be harmful to our recruiting efforts as the word spreads about waiting pools. This chance to increase our footprint in Elmhurst will unlock doors for future growth and open opportunities for our future.

Thanks to the generosity of many donors, we were able to fund most of the land purchase without the long-term help of a lender. At our record-setting Auction on Saturday, April 12, we received gifts of all sizes—from parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, alumni, and other friends of Timothy. We raised $1,285,000 at our auction toward this real estate acquisition.

Ultimately, this will provide extra room for Timothy Christian Schools to partner with even more families for the mission and the cause of Jesus Christ.
