Make a gift to Highland School

"I give because it enables Highland to offer unique curricula other schools have cut, or never had. My son spoke in front of 200 people AND reporters at age 7. It was nothing new to him - he'd been speaking at assemblies and in plays since Pre-Kindergarten!"

Make a gift to Highland School

Here’s why you should consider investing beyond the classroom

At Highland, an extraordinary education isn’t just built on tuition; it’s fueled by the heart of our community. This is why we believe in a financial model that prioritizes people. By choosing to invest in Highland beyond tuition, our families and partners empower us to thrive, lead, and serve.

Every gift you make, from time to treasure, directly funds the programs, faculty, and facilities that make the Highland experience truly exceptional. It’s more than a donation; it’s doing your part to continue Highland’s legacy into our next century.

Your gift in action: the Highland Annual Fund

While tuition covers the essentials, it’s the generosity of our community that defines the Highland journey. Your gifts to the Highland Annual Fund directly support the inspired teaching and unique programs that make our school a truly special place to learn and grow. Because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, your contributions stay right here on campus, working immediately to fuel the current school year.
