Path to Excellence Capital Campaign & Expansion Project
Support for the capital campaign project is investing and strengthening Shiloh’s mission of Academic Excellence on a Christian Foundation. Shiloh has reached critical capacity and without expansion in three key areas, future programs, student success, and enrollment is at risk.
An overall stronger school system starts with a vibrant elementary program. Shiloh has seen tremendous growth in elementary school. While it excites us for the future strength of school; we know if we don’t address capacity issues, we will not be able to maintain the growth in enrollment we’ve seen over the past several years.
More students seeking a complete education experience also means we need to be able to offer programs that support academic, fine arts, and athletic aspirations. Having dedicated facilities for these areas is essential.
The Path to Excellence project meets this need with:
- an elementary expansion
- a new state-of-the art performing arts center
- additional gymnasium and new fitness center
One cannot happen without the other and the time to act is now. We must secure the necessary financial support by the May 2023 to break ground in June of 2023 and move into the new classrooms in August of 2024. If we are not able to meet that timeline the entire project will be delayed. We have scaled the initial part of the project to just one wing of classrooms in order to be able to continue to meet the need of enrollment. Classroom Expansion Blueprint
We are asking donors to consider a gift of $50,000 over five years ($10,000 a year). These leadership gifts will allow us to begin construction on the North wing of the classroom expansion. An additional $5 million will need to be raised to complete the performing arts center and remaining classrooms. Once complete, fundraising for another $5 million will begin for the gymnasium and fitness center.
Elementary Expansion
The addition of the performing arts center allows for 15 new classrooms that will be used for elementary classes and fine arts programs. Initial planning allows for preschool and early elementary classes to remain in the current elementary wing and upper elementary grades to move into the classroom expansion.
Without this additional classroom space, we will either be forced to continue using portables and placing elementary classrooms in the middle school or we will have to reduce our elementary capacity and thus risk Shiloh’s future growth opportunities.
Legacy gifts are gifts greater than $50,000 and include exclusive, individual recognition.
- East Classroom Wing | $750,000
- West Classroom Wing | $750,000
- Individual Classroom | $150,000
*gifts for the classroom expansion include naming opportunity.
Phyllis A. Peterson Performing Arts Center
A new facility for performing arts will elevate the student experience for grades PreK-12. Play productions, band and choral performances, and the school’s chapels will now have their own dedicated space. This space will also be available for community events and other organizations.
Expansion of elementary classroom sections means an increased need for fine arts opportunities. While many districts limit or cut fine arts, Shiloh Christian School is committed to providing these opportunities for all of our students.

Additional Gymnasium & Fitness Center
Gym and athletic programming space continues to be an issue at Shiloh. However, we are not able to expand these areas without being able to remove the portables along the south side of the building. We cannot remove the portables without doing the elementary expansion project.
Currently our students and athletes must leave campus to participate in strength and conditioning training at an off site facility. A student fitness center would allow students to remain on campus and it would open up health & wellness programming for non-athletes.
