Annual Fund
It is an extraordinary year for La Scuola - a historic moment in the life of our joyful school.
The fall Annual Fund is one of La Scuola's most important fundraising efforts. It is through the Annual Fund that we fuel much of the magic that makes our school thrive. Tuition alone does not cover a La Scuola education, and it is this yearly effort that empowers the exceptional resources that shape our students’ experience - our academic programs and extraordinary ateliers, professional development for our passionate faculty and staff, and a robust sliding scale tuition fund that helps open La Scuola’s doors to as many as possible in the city around us.
Philanthropy is very intentionally woven into the school’s operating budget, and each year tuition is set with the expectation that the school will have 100% participation in the Annual Fund. Like many independent schools, La Scuola’s Annual Fund bridges what tuition covers and the true cost of educating each student. While tuition is not tax deductible, contributions to the Annual Fund are. Your gift truly makes it possible for us to keep the magic of La Scuola accessible to all families and is what takes our school from exceptional to transformational.
