Annual Events

Benefit
Held each year, the Benefit brings together parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty/staff and friends to celebrate the school and to raise vital funds which help to ensure that Calhoun remains a leader in progressive education. The 2018 Benefit was held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom and was a wonderful celebration of our community that raised vital fund for our school. Please save the date for the 2019 Calhoun Benefit which will be on Friday, March 1, 2019. More details to come in the fall.
 
Annual Fund Leadership Society Events

The Calhoun Annual Fund host special events throughout the year for its leadership society members from The Beir Society ($2,500 or more) and The Steve Nelson Society ($10,000 or more).

Cultural Excursions

From time to time, Calhoun organizes events for current parents, grandparents, and alumni to experience special exhibits and shows going on in New York City. Through private tours with expert guides, these cultural excursions connect us to our larger community in the city and remind us of Calhoun's mission to pursue learning in a dynamic and experiential way.
