The Annual Fund is at the heart of fundraising at Speyer.
It supports every part of life at 925 Ninth Avenue, helping fund essential programs, enrich student experiences, and move the school forward. Annual Fund gifts also help close the gap between tuition and the true cost of a Speyer education. Most importantly, giving to the Annual Fund is a meaningful way to show your support for Speyer’s mission and community. You allow Speyer to thrive with each and every tax-deductible gift.
Central to Speyer’s curriculum is appreciation for innovation, differentiation, and the unknown, which creates a healthy educational environment for the gifted learner. Speyer is committed to maintaining an interdisciplinary curriculum led by an unparalleled faculty which responds to students’ inquiry.
Speyer’s faculty are called upon to be fearless — fearless in meeting the needs of our students, fearless in providing the resources needed for accelerated learning, fearless in their own lifelong pursuit of 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.
Our commitment to 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 32% of our students receive financial aid and Speyer awards more than $4,000,000 in tuition assistance each year.
