Your gift fuels a future where every child is seen, inspired, and empowered.
At WSD, we believe every child deserves an education that inspires curiosity, compassion, and confidence. For over 30 years, our community’s generosity has made this possible, filling our classrooms with joy, energy, and purpose. Today, over 40% of our families receive tuition assistance that is sometimes covering up to 70% of their tuition obligation thanks to donors like you. We dedicate 20% of our operating budget to ensure that financial barriers don’t have to limit a child’s opportunity to thrive. Your gift to the Annual Fund supports more than tuition; it strengthens our community, empowers young minds, and fuels a future full of promise.
Thank you for your continued support. Your gift helps us carry this mission forward.
The Waldorf School of DuPage (WSD) is a non-profit organization and as such, all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.
