The Annual Fund provides needed dollars that enhance the student experience. Currently, 100% of the school’s operating budget is funded by tuition with staff salaries and benefits making up the bulk of the expense (85%). The remainder is used to cover basic needs such as rent, curriculum, and supplies. Support of the Annual Fund will enrich the learning environment of our students by supporting professional development for teachers, allowing access to mental health resources on campus, and providing for weekly art and music therapy. In addition, field trips, such as those to Triple Play Farms, a local equine therapy facility, Charlotte Knights baseball game, and local museums will be covered at no additional cost to families.
