5-week Annual Fund

This year, our Annual Fund campaign takes place over five weeks, beginning Monday, 4 November through to our Power of Orange Giving Day on Tuesday, 3 December! During this time, you will be receiving emails and appeals asking for your participation with a pledge or gift to the Annual Fund.

The goals of this concentrated effort are to:

• have all gifts or pledge commitments received before Winter Break, with payments paid in full by 31 May 2025. 
• enable the promotion of the Parents Community Association’s Auction in the second half of the school year, and though proceeds from the PCA Auction do not support the School’s annual operating budget, they do support the PCA’s events and activities through June 2027 and will help to fund a major refurbishment of the Commons and Gym Foyer spaces, which will benefit every member of the ASL community.

We hope you will hear the call to action and say “yes” to donating to the Annual Fund and supporting our community of learners.
 

The Annual Fund is the primary means for all of us to help fund the core components of the academic program and ensure an incredible student experience. 

The Annual Fund

• ensures stellar core academic and extracurricular programs
   - amazing facilities for teaching and learning 
   - field trips, visiting authors and speakers
   - music tours, robotics competitions and athletics
• helps the Head of School hire and retain excellent faculty and staff
• supports the financial aid program
   

Donations can be made in British pounds sterling (GBP) or US dollars (USD) in the form of a check, credit card, or appreciated securities. Gifts via Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) or donor-advised funds are also accepted. 

Make your pledge or gift directly online. Pledge payments are due in full by 31 May 2025.
