Mirman's Artful Transformation

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE filled the air as students, teachers, and community members gathered to ring in this exciting milestone in Mirman School's history.

Kicking off the 2023–2024 school year, Mirman students began painting, acting, music-making, and studying a world of subjects as the new Guerin Family Learning Center and Derfner-Lieberman Family Arts Pavilion opened its doors, essentially transforming the campus once again.

Mirman Next—the Mirman School’s most recent capital campaign and one of its most successful—achieved its objective to create an expansion that will enable the school to increase enrollment while simultaneously decreasing Lower School class size.

Active fundraising ran from April 2022 through June 2023. The campaign exceeded its initial goal to raise $12.5 million, with an official total of more than $15 million—despite its launch during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are grateful to each and every donor, volunteers, our Board of Trustees, the families, parents, faculty and staff, the entire community that contributed to this tremendous achievement,” said Noah Kaufman, Director of Advancement. “We did it together. Come see the

beautiful result!”

The 16,130-square-foot Guerin Family Learning Center and Derfner-Lieberman Family Arts Pavilion open up immeasurable opportunities for individualized learning with the:

» Lauren and Bobby Turner Visual Arts Studio

» Wiczyk Performing Arts Studio

» Michelson Family STEAM Center for Innovation

» Five new Lower School classrooms for K-4th grades to facilitate individualized exploration and discovery.

“With our community behind us, Mirman has matched our investment in faculty and curriculum with an investment in our campus that sets the stage for the future,” said Head of School Dan Vorenberg.

The ambitious construction project also gave Mirman the opportunity to renovate and reimagine some existing spaces, including Lower School Art and Science, three Lower School classrooms, a breakout space, and a

Staffulty Lounge.

“Thanks to the support of all of our 60th Anniversary Celebration and Fund-A-Need supporters for helping to make our new Staffulty Lounge possible!” said Kaufman.
