We are thrilled to share that, thanks to your generosity in 2025, we completed an incredibly successful 8-week year-end campaign! With your support, we not only met our School and Foundation boards' $250,000 challenge match—we exceeded it by $149,373, bringing our total to $649,373.
Additionally, with donations to support the arts and academic team, we raised nearly $800,000, bringing our yearly total for 2025 to over $1,400,000.

In 2025, our Year End Annual Giving Campaign honored our 24 years of educating students in Los Angeles and the approach of our 25th year. We are grateful to all the educators who helped create nurturing school communities at our schools over the years. We appreciate the work of our School and Foundation Board members who donated hours of guidance and expertise while once again providing the matching donation challenge.
