The Annual Giving Fund is our largest annual fundraising campaign
Close the Gap 2026-2027
Close the Gap. Strengthen the St. Albans Experience.
For more than sixty years, St. Albans Country Day School has brought together exceptional educators, engaged families, and a caring community united by one purpose: providing students with an outstanding education that challenges them academically, nurtures their social and emotional growth, and prepares them to thrive wherever their next steps may lead.
The St. Albans experience is made possible not only through tuition, but through the generosity of our community.
This year, the difference between tuition revenue and the actual cost of providing a St. Albans education is approximately $1,700 per student. Annual Giving helps us Close the Gap—providing the additional resources needed to maintain the exceptional programs, dedicated faculty, small classes, enriching opportunities, and supportive environment that define a St. Albans education.
Our Goal: Close 75% of the Gap
This year, our goal is to fund 75% of the $1,700 per-student gap through Annual Giving.
Reaching that goal takes all of us—parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni families, and friends of St. Albans—coming together in support of our students and our school.
Every gift matters. Whether you contribute $25, $250, $2,500, or another amount that is meaningful to you, your generosity helps close the gap between tuition and the true cost of a St. Albans education.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
Annual Giving supports the people, programs, and opportunities that make a St. Albans education so special. Your support helps us continue to provide the strong academics, small classes, exceptional teachers, rich auxiliary programs, and close-knit community that allow our students to feel valued, challenged, and supported throughout their years at St. Albans.
Annual Giving is about more than reaching a financial goal. It is about investing in the educational experience our students receive today while helping ensure that St. Albans remains strong for generations to come.
Every student. Every gift. One community. Together, we can Close the Gap.
As a special thank-you, Annual Giving donors who contribute $2,000 or more will receive an invitation to our Major Donor Appreciation Party on January 8, 2027. That's only $300 more if you are already closing the gap!
Thank you for your partnership, generosity, and commitment to St. Albans Country Day School.
