WHY GIVE TO SYCAMORE?

Philanthropic support from our Board, staff, families, alumni, and friends enhances every student's  experience beyond what would be possible with tuition dollars alone. In fact, the Sycamore Fund provides the second largest contribution to the School’s operating budget, after tuition. It helps ensure the financial resources that have been essential to our ability to be flexible and offer the very best educational experience for our students.

Financial support will help provide:
  • Annual professional development for faculty and staff.
  • Financial Aid for 20% of our students.
  • New school-wide health and safety protocols.
  • Technology to support faculty and students.
Every gift every year has an immediate impact on academic programs, faculty development, the arts, athletics, and clubs. Every gift matters.

12 SIGNS: Can I Tell If My Child Is Gifted?

Parents are among the best identifiers of gifted children. You clearly know your child better than anyone, and your input should be welcomed and valued by any school you are considering for your child.
 
Typically, parents of gifted kids will notice characteristics of giftedness in their child at an early age.  At Sycamore, we call these the “Twelve Signs” of a gifted child.
