The gift you make each year to the Annual Fund
enables the Academy to maintain a quality educational experience
for the students.
Today at the Academy, we continue sharing the gift of excellence
in education established in 1909. However, we cannot do it alone.
Each year, tuition covers only 86 percent of the cost of educating
each child. Charitable gifts from alumnae, parents, grandparents
and friends to the Annual Fund help to
make up the difference.
When you give to the Annual Fund, you
assist us in enriching and enhancing the curriculum, and enable
more students to experience a Catholic education through scholarships
and financial assistance.
Your contribution is used each year to support:
• Outstanding curriculum
• State of the art labs and equipment
• Expanded library resources
• Professional development for faculty
• Scholarships and financial aid for students
Gift Circles provide opportunities for giving
at different levels. It is also a way to acknowledge and thank all
our supporters who join together with us in fulfilling our goal:
Educating Young Women to Make a Difference.
