Doors to Discovery
Transformative giving
Doors to Discovery supports three defining priorities:
The stunning 30,000-square-foot Whitten Math & Sciences Center showcases what’s possible when we design academic environments that facilitate new classes, new programming, and new opportunities that were never before possible. Engineer Your World and Net Zero 2050 classes, along with design-thinking challenges for the Middle School are just a few examples of new programming now available in this beautiful space.
Expanded financial aid enables us to meet 100% of the demonstrated need for families, ensuring that more students can access the life-changing experience of an Overlake education. This commitment deepens our dedication to access, equity, and inclusion that benefits the teaching and learning for all our Owls.
The new 8,000-square-foot Student & Community Center is the inviting gateway for Overlake, serving as our vibrant, modern, and flexible hub for all our Owls, past, present, and future. The gorgeous multipurpose space fosters creativity, collaboration, and communication, preparing students for any path that contributes to making a positive difference in the world.
