As an independent school, we depend on two sources to fund all expenses of providing a world-class education to our students: tuition and philanthropy. Below is an overview of what fundraisers are planned for the 2024-2025 academic year, and how funds from each are used. We understand that each family’s capacity for giving is different, and ask that everyone participates at the level that works best for your family.
2024 ANNUAL FUND
Annual Fund donations are used to help make up the difference between what tuition provides and the cost of running our school. Tuition currently only covers about 80% of our operating costs, and the annual fund is essential to helping us meet those extra costs. These include raises for teachers, everyday items like pens and paper, and more specific needs like faculty training workshops and bringing in support for student wellness.
Thank you to everyone that contributed so generously to the Annual Fund! We surpassed our goal of $55,000 — raising over $63,000!
To contribute to our general operating fund anytime throughout the year, GIVE HERE.
HELP BUILD THE SPRING STREET COMMONS
Help us raise the necessary funds to build the new heart of the Spring Street International School campus — the Spring Street Commons.
Spring Street Commons is a 2100 square foot building that will provide a community space on campus where our entire student body and faculty can gather together under one roof. When internal walls are open, it will be a room large enough for all-school meetings, assemblies and performances. It will serve as rehearsal and performance space for our performing arts classes, as well as have the ability to close an internal wall, converting the space into two much needed classrooms. The building includes two teacher offices, a foyer with two accessible private restrooms, and all equipment needed to serve as a state-of-the art performance space (lighting booth, lighting grid, AV, stage, curtains, and seating).
