The River School

Make an Online Gift

Tuition only covers 76% of the cost associated with educating children at The River School. The Annual Fund campaign is conducted each school year to help close this gap and fund the daily operating expenses that are necessary to maintain our unique academic program. Gifts can be made via credit card, cash or stock.

All families and other members of our community are asked to participate in this important effort--our second largest source of income--and give to the maximum
of their ability. Pledges paid over time are welcome.

Last year 88% of River School families made a gift to the Annual Fund, raising  approximately  $250,000.  The goal for the 2007-2008 campaign is $260,000.

We are confident that together we can meet this goal and ensure the success and excellence of The River School experience.

A successful Annual Fund completes a healthy financial picture.  Make your gift today!
