An endowment provides stability, opportunities for innovation, and a hedge against fluctuations in the economy. Established in 2001, the purpose of the endowment fund is to stabilize school finances and provide a margin of financial flexibility and security to help to maintain the vitality and viability of the school. 

As of Spring 2021, the school’s endowment has reached $1 million, and discussions will soon be underway to consider options around stewardship of interest income to benefit our learning community. Examples for consideration include:

• Stabilizing tuition increases
• Subsidizing scholarship funds
• Supporting school resources such as technology, science lab, and library
• Developing education initiatives that annual revenues cannot fund
• Providing professional development for teachers
• Underwriting a portion of operational expenses.

We are grateful for contributions to the school endowment fund, and for the remarkable momentum behind the fund instigated by generous school families, friends and alumni. Donations in excess of $500 are recognized with an engraved brick in the school’s beautiful Centennial Plaza.
