Why Give? Give for the children.

Like most not-for-profit independent schools, we rely on your gifts to bridge the gap between income and the annual cost of operating the school. Tuition is set at a rate to meet the most basic needs of the school and to maintain affordability. If we actually charged what it cost to educate each child, many students would not be able to afford the tuition. Additionally, tuition doesn't cover the costs of implementing new or expanded programs.

We do seek, and have received corporate and foundational support, but these funds are typically limited to specific projects and cannot be used for general improvements. Nonetheless, corporations and foundations (and accreditors) look for sustained levels of support from the school community as evidence of our school's strength and stability.

Your donations allow us to provide the best possible education to your child. That means allowing us to pay our staff competitive salaries, improve our physical plant, stay up-to-date with technology, expand and improve existing programs and implement new ones.
