Chief Advancement Officer Christopher Kramaric Named VISTA NextGen Superstar
Christopher Kramaric, who joined the Church Farm School community on July 1, 2024, was recently named a VISTA NextGen Superstar. The 40 recipients of the award are recognized for being dynamic business and professional leaders, under the age of 40, who are shaping the Chester County's future. Christopher will be celebrated with other recipients at the Penn State Great Valley Conference Center on May 8.
Christopher was recruited to Church Farm School in July 2024 to lead institutional advancement, a role that finds him setting development strategy and vision for one of the nation’s 25 largest private schools by endowment size—more than $160M. His work to more than quadruple philanthropic investments in the school over the next five years is more than just professional, it ties into his passion for increasing educational access for young men growing up in single-parent or under-resourced households like he did. Prior to CFS, he worked in fundraising for The Woodlynde School, where his work focused on destigmatizing learning differences and autism spectrum disorder to change the lives of students, their families, and educators in Chester County and beyond. He started his career at The Franklin Institute. Outside of his professional duties, he is a member of the Fine Arts Committee for his alma mater, Bishop Shanahan, and participates in the Malvern Arts Community Choir.
The Church Farm School is an independent boarding and day school for boys in grades 9-12 located in Exton, PA. Founded in 1918 to provide an excellent education to young men from limited means, Church Farm School now serves boys from a range of socio-economic circumstances who are seeking an extraordinary educational opportunity. The school offers a challenging college preparatory curriculum and an exceptional level of personal attention, with class sizes averaging between just 7 and 12 students.
