At the core of our Foundation’s mission is the building and nurturing of relationships with individuals, organizations and businesses who share our vision of educational excellence.
Like every non-profit foundation, our Foundation needs the philanthropic support of the people who care about our meaningful programs that support the Academy. In order to cover operating costs and offer vibrant programs, we rely on your support. The generosity of your gifts of time and resources makes a significant difference in the lives of our students and enables us to fulfill our mission.
