The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of all fundraising at Speyer--the foundation upon which our fundraising efforts rest. A gift to the Annual Fund touches every part of school life at 925 Ninth Avenue; it provides revenue that supports core activities, program enrichment, and school development; it bridges the gap between what is covered by tuition and the true cost of providing an excellent Speyer education; and most importantly, a gift to the Annual Fund affirms Speyer’s mission:
A Robust & Innovative Curriculum
Central to Speyer’s curriculum is appreciation for innovation, differentiation, and the unknown, which creates a healthy educational environment for the accelerated learner. Speyer is committed to maintaining an interdisciplinary curriculum led by a fearless faculty which responds to students’ inquiry. Speyer students will have a limitless learning environment from Kindergarten through 8th grade, which will allow them to be lifelong learners.
A Dedicated Faculty
Speyer’s faculty are called to be fearless, fearless in meeting the needs of our students, fearless in providing the resources needed for accelerated learning. Teachers are encouraged to hone their craft through professional development opportunities. As we develop and improve our programs, we must devote appropriate funding to the staffing, infrastructure, training, materials, and technology that support them
Financial Aid
Financial Aid allows qualified applicants to attend Speyer regardless of their ability to pay full tuition. It allows Speyer to maintain a diversity of ideas and backgrounds in the classroom and in the Speyer community, which affords opportunities to think critically and look at problems in new and different ways. Nearly 30% of our students receive financial aid.
