The Washington School Foundation was established to enrich the school’s educational programs, equipment and facilities. Tuition alone cannot cover the cost of a Washington School Education. Donations to the Washington School Foundation create added value to the students’ overall educational experience.

Annual Fund
The Annual Fund provides monies for day-to-day necessities. Donations made to the Annual Fund can be designated for specific areas such as computer upgrades, educational software, fine arts programs and supplies, teacher compensation, etc. The monies donated to the Annual Fund can be used immediately by the school.

Capital Fund
Donations made to the Capital Fund are used by the school to build new facilities, make renovations or invest in large equipment. An example of what can be achieved through the Capital Fund is the new Elementary Media Center/Middle School Administrative Offices. The gym, high school library, Sykes Hall and the cafeteria are also slated for renovations and improvements through the Capital Fund.

Endowment Fund
Also referred to as “Planned Giving,” the Endowment Fund safeguards the long-term life of the school. Patrons can make designations through life-insurance policies, wills, etc. to continue their legacy at Washington School. The gifts are invested, and after three years, the school can only use the interest generated from the gifts. The Endowment Fund ensures the future of Washington School.

Honorariums and Memorials
Honorariums and Memorials are a touching tribute to a loved-one and can be designated for any fund. Washington School will send notification of the gift to the honoree or to the appropriate family member for a memorial donation.

Courtyard of Excellence

 

Courtyard of Excellence
The Courtyard of Excellence is located between the elementary classrooms and the middle school (Cricket Hall) classrooms with plantings, walkways, benches, and a fountain.  The focus of the area will be that of an outdoor classroom to be available to teachers in all grades.  Alumni and friends of Washington School have the unique opportunity to be a part of converting this area and honoring or memorializing friends and family by participating in our Courtyard of Excellence.  The Walk of Excellence, which will intersect the Courtyard, will be a brick and concrete pathway punctuated with two twenty-foot diameter circles.  Each brick included will be inscribed with the names of donors or someone the donor wishes to memorialize or honor.  Brick Form

In addition to affording a pleasant and educational vista for our students, the garden will provide stepping-stones for the continued academic excellence of our school.
