Every gift makes a difference
We need you!
It is difficult to imagine what The Steward School would look like without the generous financial contributions that many have made throughout the years. What once existed as only a single building has now become a complete and beautiful campus, but it is what lies within the buildings that makes The Steward School so special. Steward is committed to remaining small, no matter the size of the campus. For our students, this means small class sizes and personalized attention. To fulfill this commitment, we rely on additional sources of revenue.
We invite all members of our community to align their philanthropic passions with the school’s pressing needs. As is the case at most independent schools, tuition at Steward does not cover the total cost of educating each child. We are fortunate to have a community of great generosity, in which nearly all of our parents, trustees, faculty and staff, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends give gifts of time, talent, and financial resources.

Whether through yearly gifts to the annual fund, planned giving, gifts to the endowment, or capital gifts, those who hold Steward close to their hearts continue to demonstrate their incredible generosity.
We remain grateful to all our donors. Every gift makes a difference, and philanthropic gifts of any size are essential to helping us live out our mission.

"Steward gave me, and my children, what very few places can give: an opportunity to explore and pursue a wide variety of academic and extracurricular activities in a safe and supportive environment. I support Steward because it is a treasure to me and to this amazing city."
