New Way Learning Academy

The Annual Fund plays a vital role in the continued success of our school. The purpose of the Fund is to reduce the difference between tuition revenues and actual expenses of educating our students.  With a goal of $100,000, our Annual Fund provides the most efficient way to support the comprehensive educational experience we provide at New Way Learning Academy. An unrestricted gift to the Annual Fund allows the school to meet its goals and direct your donation where it is needed most. Please join us!

Questions and Answers about the Annual Fund

Q. What is the Bulldog Annual Fund?
A. The Annual Fund supports New Way’s current fiscal year's operating budget with funds for faculty salaries, professional development, financial assistance, building maintenance, lab and classroom materials. When you give to the Annual Fund, you can be sure your gift is helping the students right now!

Q. Doesn't tuition cover these expenses?
A. Yes, but only partially. Tuition covers about 84% of the cost of educating a student at New Way. This is in line with most independent schools.

Q. How is the remaining 16% covered?
A. To run our school every year, we depend on annual gifts from our Board of Directors, alumni, current parents and parents of alumni, grandparents of current and former students, current and former faculty and staff, and other friends of the school. 

Q. If I can only give a small gift, does it really make an impact on New Way?
A. Yes! Your gift, combined with those from other alumni, family, and friends, provides substantial support for the ongoing operations of our school. Regardless of the level of the gift, it is an expression of your support and is put to immediate use to benefit our children. Every gift counts and every gift is appreciated!

Q. Why does my participation matter?
A. Participation matters because many foundations only fund schools that can demonstrate wide support from their own alumni, parents, and administration. In addition, costs for running a school and providing a strong academic program increase every year. To keep New Way fiscally sound, we need everyone's participation each year.

Q. What is the Leadership Society?
A. Giving to the Annual Fund each and every year is extremely important to the ongoing success of the school’s programs and demonstrates a donor’s commitment to the New Way Learning Academy. We recognize this commitment with membership in our Leadership Society where a donor is listed with other donors who share the same vision for the school.
