Donate

We are grateful for the support we receive from our community, and we ask that you consider us in your giving plans for the year. Every donation—no matter how large or small—gets put to good use by enhancing the school’s ability to offer scholarships, defraying the school’s operating costs—such as teachers’ salaries, supplies, and facility maintenance—and extending our unique educational experiences to more children in the community.
