Why We Give ~ Annual Giving Campaign

It is part of our culture and tradition to keep tuition at a modest level, allowing those who can give more to make tax-deductive contributions, and enabling us to provide financial assistance to community members who could not afford to be here without help, but are dedicated to Waldorf education. Our tuition is low in comparison to other private schools in the area. This is part of what keeps our school vibrant with a myriad of families and experiences. Please help us to support this important mission and maintain the sense of community that makes Summerfield so wondrous. Thank you for your generosity.

Annual Giving Campaign

Annual giving campaign dollars going long way and supporting our programs each year. Without your assistance, we cannot offer the very programs that makes Summerfield so unique. Annual Giving Campaign contributions make a difference by providing financial assistance and emergency tuition assistance; supporting our biodynamic farm with integrated curriculum; hiring and retaining outstanding faculty; providing ongoing professional development; and so much more. Each year our goal is 100% community participation, including faculty, staff and board. You can join us today by donating or making a PLEDGE to be fulfilled by the end of the school year. For more information, please email: development@summerfieldwaldorf.org.
