View360 History


View360 is Castilleja’s annual event celebrating tuition assistance—providing essential access, opportunity, and leadership. Each year, this celebratory evening combines a lively party with an inspiring program.

Since View360 began in 2008, Castilleja has welcomed over 100 speakers and performers to share their insights with our community. Past speakers include Isabel Allende, The Honorable Cory Booker, Jimmy Chin, Tim Cook, Anderson Cooper, Thomas Friedman, Adam Grant, Jony Ive, Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Laura Linney, and Betty White.

View360 reaffirms Castilleja’s promise to educate confident thinkers and compassionate leaders.

Thanks to our shared commitment to tuition assistance, every girl with curiosity, promise, and ambition has the opportunity to thrive at Castilleja.
