Giving at JHCS

Gifts made to the Annual Appeal provide the support we need to further develop the incredible community experience that is foundational to a JHCS education. As we enter our third decade, we continue to foster curiosity and challenging academics in our classrooms, in our shared spaces, and beyond the walls of our building. Your gifts enable us to attract and retain an outstanding faculty who work to expand the breadth and depth of our curriculum, maintain our commitment to low student-teacher ratios, and sustain the operation and maintenance of our facilities.

As is customary with most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a JHCS education. The Annual Appeal bridges the gap between the cost of tuition and the actual expense of educating each student. By reducing the need for fundraising through events, the Annual Appeal enables us to focus on educating our students: student enrichment, innovative academic programming, experiential education, and excellence in teaching benefit directly from contributions to the Annual Appeal.

While we invite you to participate in any of our fundraising programs, we ask that all parents contribute to the Annual Appeal and make JHCS a priority in their charitable giving. Every gift above the gap funds aspirational projects, curricular advancements, and continuing teacher education that equip us to better serve our students each year. In sum, your gifts provide the funds necessary for the program enhancements and projects needed to maintain our tradition of educational excellence—a margin of excellence not afforded by tuition alone.
