Creating a Tradition of Excellence
The challenge for every top-notch school is to nurture a passion for knowledge. At Pardes, we are proud of the education we provide. Yet, each year funds are needed to close the gap between what tuition and other income provides and the SchoolÕs annual expenses. Additionally, many families require financial assistance, without which they could not afford a Jewish day school experience.
Like many independent schools, Pardes depends on the support of generous people like you. Gifts — large and small — have come from Board members, parents, grandparents, synagogues, corporations, foundations, Jewish Federation and many others in the community. This kind of commitment has untold dividends in the quality of education we are able to deliver to our students.
With your continued help, Pardes can close the gap between tuition and the real cost to educate a child. We can respond to opportunities to enhance academic excellence in secular and Jewish programs, strengthen resources, improve facilities and build a margin of excellence.
A legion of talented and motivated PJDS parent volunteers join with staff and Board to help raise funds through the Annual Fund, the School Gala, the tribute program and other opportunities. All gifts, small and large, are important, and there are many ways you can participate.
We encourage you to find the giving and volunteering opportunities that are right for you. Your involvement helps to build one of the premier schools in the region.
Join us in giving our children an education that will provide them with the knowledge, leadership ability and desire to make a difference in the world.
