What Are Our Defining Moments?

This is a moment of profound challenge and opportunity for Shady Side Academy. Throughout our 137-year history, our school has overcome daunting challenges time and again. This year, with your support through gifts large and small, we are reaching toward an ambitious goal of $1.7 million. Your gift to the Blue & Gold Fund will help us define these moments at Shady Side Academy. Give today for a better tomorrow.

2021 Hillman Performing Arts Series

We are excited to announce our 15th season! Although this year will look a bit different, we are thrilled to bring you four incredible musical performances that are great for the whole family. We have shifted all of our programming to the spring of 2021 in the hope that we will be able to gather together safely. Performances will either be held inside our 660-seat Richard E. Rauh Theater or in an outdoor venue, with socially distant seating and safety protocols. Tickets go on sale Monday, Nov. 16. Learn more.
