THS Annual Fund
The Healdsburg School community is more than just a group of students, parents, and educators; we are a family united in our shared commitment to enriching the lives of our children. Our strong connections are rooted in our shared appreciation for education, and it is the unwavering support of our families that makes all of this possible.
While tuition plays a role in sustaining our school, covering 80% of our operating costs, the remaining 20% is reliant on fundraising efforts throughout the year. In the fall our community comes together to contribute to our annual fund. These donations provide support for the essential elements that define our school’s unique character.
TUITION ASSISTANCE PROCESS
Tuition assistance grants are used to offset tuition costs and do not need to be paid back. If you believe that your resources are not sufficient to meet the total costs of The Healdsburg School education, you are encouraged to apply.
THS partners with the Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) group. TADS provides a framework through which individual household needs can be measured fairly and equitably. Recommendations from TADS are used by THS when determining tuition assistance grant needs. The tuition assistance process is independent of the admission process.
