Giving Overview
At The International School, tuition covers only 85 percent of the cost of a child’s education. This makes the program accessible to as many children as possible - as long as our families and other community members help make up the last 15 percent through charitable contributions. When we all give what we can, our children learn generosity and we all benefit from a healthy, diverse, giving environment.
Thank you so much to all our donors!
