Hawken Expands Westward

The Birchwood merger, which goes into effect immediately, brings together two like-minded institutions that share deeply aligned missions that focus on the development of both character and intellect. The agreement strengthens the future of both schools without changing the day-to-day experience and education for students at both campuses. 

Phase II of Hawken's westward expansion involves an arrangement to purchase property in Gordon Square with the intention of opening an early childhood center in one of the fastest growing areas in Cleveland for families with young children. There is tremendous local enthusiasm and support for this project, and Hawken will be conducting additional research to confirm this support in the weeks ahead. 

Bringing both Birchwood and Gordon Square into the Hawken family helps achieve some of the School's most important long-term goals, including supporting our business model, positioning us to withstand demographic changes and shifts in market demand, and introducing Hawken to new communities.
