Our Donors

When we come together, our students rise higher

When we first arrive on the Hill, we instantly become a part of a caring, inclusive community. And, when we leave, we take RNS with us because we develop a love of this place, its people, and all it represents. We are proud of the alumni, parents, grandparents, employees, and friends who love RNS and generously contribute their time and financial means to ensure our students have the opportunity to succeed on the Hill and long after they have left.

Because of this community of loyal donors, RNS is one of the best independent schools in the country! Thank you for being a part of our community.

Thank you for your support

Rothesay Netherwood School is located on the traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq Peoples. We are honoured to share this place, and as a school community, we are committed to being responsible stewards of the land on which we live, teach, and learn, both today and for future generations.
