Reasons To Give
At Charlotte Mason Community School, we believe that every child deserves access to a transformative education, regardless of financial means or circumstance. Relying solely on tuition would make our school inaccessible to many, threatening the diversity and strength that define our community.
​
To ensure affordability, we work tirelessly to set reasonable tuition rates and provide substantial financial assistance. This commitment allows us to serve families from all walks of life, fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment where children can thrive.
​
In a society that often commodifies people—especially urban children—CMCS stands as a beacon of hope and equality. Our mission is to challenge social inequality by breaking down barriers and providing an enriching education rooted in faith, learning, and love.
​
Your support is the cornerstone of this mission. By giving, you are helping to sustain a school where every child is valued, every story matters, and every future is filled with possibility. Together, we can continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and their families.
Make an Immediate Impact
Gifts to the CMCS Fund provide us with the flexibility to address immediate needs as they arise: hiring exceptional staff, funding teacher workshops, improving and updating our campus, and supporting a diverse and deserving student body.
Enhance School Programs
Key programs that support teaching and learning rely on gifts to the CMCS Fund. These contributions help, stay current with the latest technology, and introduce innovative academic programs.
Attract & Nurture the Best Faculty
Investing in our teachers enhances the quality of education our students receive every day. Gifts to the CMCS Fund provide funding for teachers' salaries and professional development opportunities, ensuring we attract and retain the best educators.
Your Support Makes a Difference
A Charlotte Mason Community School (CMCS) education equips each student with the skills and character needed to positively impact the world they will inherit. Whether our children join CMCS as kindergarteners or later in their academic journey, they are immersed in a transformative learning experience. Our students learn to think critically and expansively, communicate effectively with diverse audiences, collaborate to solve real-world problems, and create works of self-expression that inspire and serve others.
​
CMCS relies on the support of alumni, parents, and friends who contribute to our mission each year. Tuition only covers a small portion of our expenses. Donors help bridge the gap, ensuring CMCS can continue providing top-quality education and enriching experiences for all students. Every contribution makes a significant difference.
​
Raising tuition to fully cover operations could make CMCS unaffordable for some and change our community's makeup. We strive to set reasonable tuition and allocate funds for financial assistance. In a world that increasingly commodifies people, especially children in urban areas, CMCS provides an education that counteracts social inequality. We aim to break down barriers of means and circumstance, making enriching education available to all.
​
We invite donors to support our tuition assistance fund, ensuring every child has the opportunity for an education built on relationships. Your continued generosity is vital in shaping today’s learners into tomorrow’s leaders—one student at a time.
