GIVING

A Timeless Mission…

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in giving at The Joy School!

Since our first class of four students in 1997, The Joy School has flourished with the backing of our strong school community - parents, alumni, Board of Trustees, grandparents, and business leaders – all committed to the school's important work in educating children who learn differently. We rely on loyal supporters who partner with the school in a host of ways by volunteering time and expertise and giving essential charitable gifts, believing in our mission that impacts our students for a lifetime.   

The Joy School follows a fundraising model typical of other independent schools. Tuition revenue provides 82% of the cost for each student. Fueled by annual giving, we are able to manage the operating budget with prudent flexibility to cover all aspects of the school's comprehensive education.

Philanthropic gifts are, therefore, essential to maintain the innovative and highly-personalized learning culture, defined by small classes with focused attention on the students, characteristic of The Joy School. The Development Office manages all of The Joy School's fundraising initiatives. Annual Giving and capital campaign donations offer various ways to support and ensure that the school operates effectively for students, faculty, and staff every day, every school year, and into the future. Gifts are for current use and have an immediate impact.

We are most fortunate to have a solid support base within our school community. We remain deeply grateful for the generosity put forth to enhance and further The Joy School's timeless mission so children who learn differently can experience the joy of learning!
