Many friends of Kingswood Oxford have shown their commitment to the school by joining the Nicholson-Martin Society of Legacy Donors and including KO in their Estate Plans. Such plans, including making a bequest or charitable income gift, offer our donors the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of KO students.

One member of the Nicholson-Martin Society, Jean LaTorre P'12, '14, '19, has shared her reasons for including KO in their Estate Plans. For more information on Planned Giving, please contact Director of Institutional Advancement Dina Plapler.

Why do you support Kingswood Oxford?
I know from personal experience that education can be the great equalizer in society. Our children's educational foundation often sets the trajectory for their future. I support KO because of the passion and success the school brings to this essential mission.

Why is a KO education special?
A KO education is bespoke. Students and their families can shape their journeys with academics, sports, arts, and community involvement. Students are encouraged to flex different muscles on their journey of self-discovery.

What is your vision for the future of KO?
Our world is changing with unprecedented velocity. Many vocations of the future are yet to be defined. Head of School Tom Dillow and his team recognize the need to provide a program that teaches our students how to continue to learn and adapt to our dynamic world.
