Mill Springs Academy strives to keep tuition as low as possible to provide access to more families by keeping the school more affordable. With tuition intentionally set below full cost, the Annual Fund gives families the opportunity to support the school through tax-deductible donations and not just tuition increases. Every Mill Springs student benefits from the Annual Fund because dollars raised surpass what is possible with tuition alone and enhances every student’s experience.

A high level of participation in the Annual Fund is a tangible demonstration of our community’s belief in the school, its mission, and its promise to future generations. The level of parent participation in the Annual Fund is also directly related to the continued success of our capital fundraising and is one of the main reasons why local foundations have the confidence in our school to make such large gifts to our capital projects. For the past 11 years, we have garnered 100% participation from our Board of Trustees, Staff, and Faculty, with parent support averaging roughly 94%.

We encourage every member of the community to make a personally meaningful gift. Depending on family circumstances, that might be $25 or $25,000. It is important that as many families as possible strive to make a benchmark gift at or above $1,500 in order to meet our annual financial goal. Just give BIG — whatever that may be for your family this year. Collectively, we will close the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each and every Mill Springs student.
