• Donate to our Annual Fund

  Visitors to The Academy and new members of the community, be they new families or new teachers, often remark on two things: that there is something kind of magical about the environment, and that there is an  uncommon generosity and openness about the students. Building knowledge collaboratively, including self-knowledge, both requires and begets generosity. The Academy is so grateful to the families, trustees, faculty and employees, grandparents, and friends of the school who have given generously to ensure that The Academy can continue to cultivate and nurture generous minds. 

  
  

  The Academy’s Annual Fund exists to bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of an Academy education and to ensure stability through unforeseen challenges. The fund supports financial assistance, professional development, site security, enrichment opportunities, and helps keep the cost of tuition lower overall.
