The two wings on either side of the building house the visual arts department and theatre. The science department houses labs for biology, chemistry, physics, and animal science classes. Additionally, there is a photography studio, complete with a dark room. A recent addition is the state of the art Innovation Lab, which is home to laser cutters and 3-D printers. The science wing is also complete with an engineering workshop. Library The Audrey Bruce Currier Library, named after a Foxcroft School alum, sits in the center of campus and is home to additional classrooms, meeting spaces, and a computer lab. The library is also the gathering space for the tri-weekly assemblies, known as “Morning Meeting.” Athletic Facilities A new Activities Center was built in 2013, housing a multi-purpose double-box gym (Leipheimer Gym). While commonly used for basketball and volleyball, it is frequently converted to indoor practice spaces for field hockey, tennis, and lacrosse teams. Encircling the top of the double-box is a two-lane track, around which various exercise machines sit. The competition gymnasium, or the Engelhard, is housed in the same Activities Center. In addition to the gyms, the student lounge (Roomies), complete with a full kitchen, is in the same building. A weight-room with treadmills, ellipticals, plus an athletic nurse/physical therapy office complete the Activities Center. The outdoor athletic facilities include a recreational-sized pool, 8 tennis courts, 2 softball diamonds (one turf, one dirt), 2 full-sized turf fields, and an outdoor two-lane track. The Stables Foxcroft School has stables right on campus. The Jean du Pont McConnell Stables house around 60 horses, both school-owned and privately owned. An indoor ring (dimensions: 100×200) are connected to the stables as well. Outdoors, the grassy expanse of Big Track is well-suited for cross-country riding and practice. Students also can use the miles of trails to ride or run on. The horses themselves are housed in the stable during the day and turned out to the large field spaces situated right on campus. Dormitories The Foxcroft School campus is home to 5 student dorms, including one freshmen dorm and one senior dorm. The remaining three dorms have a mix of sophomores, juniors, and senior dorm leaders (prefects). Every year, all the dorms compete in Battle of the Dorms, where groups put on skits and the like. Bedford Donation In the fall of 2014, Standard Oil heiress Ruth T. Bedford donated $40 million after her death to Foxcroft School. Bedford was a member of the class of 1932. Fox/Hound Tradition During World War I, students at Foxcroft were not allowed to return home. To cope, the founder of the school, Miss Charlotte, started a now long-standing tradition called “FoxHound,” as a way for the girls to spend their time. The entirety of the school, including the teachers, are split up into two teams, the Foxes and the Hounds. The teams rival each other in three sports competitions; Field Hockey (fall), Basketball (winter), and Horseback Riding (spring). Each year, the Battle for the Cup is renewed, and the teams compete for the cup which is earned from a victory in the Big Team Basketball game. Team tryouts and practices begin in the two weeks leading up to the competitions. Team captains are chosen and they spend time making gifts for their team members. The week leading up to each competition is filled with pep-rallies, known as “Sing-Sings” as a way to encourage each team for a victory. On the Thursday before the competitions, the officers and mascots from each team decorate School House (the academic building). One side of School House is designated for the Foxes, and one side is designated for the Hounds. The spirit central to the FoxHound tradition is “friends 'till the end.”
