  • How do we pay for our Financial Aid program?

    Good things happen when you Pay it Forward. 11 years ago our school was founded on this principle. We believe world-class teachers and immersive educational experiences should be available to every child. And we walk that talk. We are able to offer financial aid to over a third of our families each year.

    Our CommuniTEA has supported us in this effort by not only providing the start up costs necessary to fund this venture by donating to our Annual Fund, but have also donated countless hours of sweat equity. The amount of financial support we’ve received is only equaled by the volume of blood, sweat and tears our tireless CommuniTEA has given.

    Each year, our goal is to have 100% of our existing families participate in our Annual Fund. Whether that’s $5, or $10,000, every dollar counts. Annual Fund donations can be designated to classroom needs like music supplies, or to our Pay it Forward program, which covers the gap between our tuition schedule and the actual cost of education.
