Tuition covers approximately 72% of the School’s total costs, leaving a critical gap.
Your support bridges this gap, funding programs, classroom supplies, faculty development, and student wellness. With your generosity, we can offer the life-changing experiences that define our School. Contributions from our community are vital to sustaining and advancing our vision.
Designate your gift to one of the four campaign priorities:
Support our greatest need
Supporting our area of greatest need is one of the most impactful ways to help our students and faculty. These flexible gifts allow SMS to meet urgent challenges and seize new opportunities, from upgrading technology and expanding financial aid to enhancing academic programs. Unrestricted giving strengthens our foundation and ensures every student receives an exceptional education and transformative experiences.
SUPPORT STEM-X AND FACULTY INNOVATION
Girls’ schools are at the forefront of advancing STEM education for women globally. Graduates from these schools are six times more likely to pursue majors in math, science, and technology, and three times more likely to consider engineering, compared to their peers from coed schools.
Supporting STEM-X means that donors are not only empowering students with hands-on experiences in science, technology, engineering, and math but also enabling faculty to innovate within the classroom. Donations directly fund access to advanced tools, technology, and real-world learning opportunities that go beyond traditional textbooks. By contributing, donors support teachers as they implement creative and cutting-edge teaching strategies that inspire critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability in students—skills vital for tomorrow’s workforce. With donor support, both students and educators are equipped to explore new technology and methodologies, laying a foundation for transformative learning and future career success.
SUPPORT ARTS AND ATHLETICS
Girls who participate in sports grow into women who lead. 91% of women in leadership roles were once athletes.
Athletics and the arts are essential to a student’s physical, emotional, social, and creative growth. When you invest in these areas, you empower athletic and artistic programs, provide vital equipment and resources, and support activities that build teamwork, leadership, resilience, and self-expression. Physical activity and creative engagement are crucial for a well-rounded lifestyle, and robust sports and arts programs elevate the school experience by instilling discipline, perseverance, creativity, and fostering a deep sense of school spirit, culture, and community.
SUPPORT Health and wellness
A holistic education values the health and well-being of every student. Supporting wellness initiatives means contributing to programs that nurture students’ physical, mental, and emotional needs—like counseling, fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness. These programs help students build healthy habits, manage stress, and find balance, which supports their academic success and personal growth. At SMS, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is integrated into daily homeroom classes and woven throughout the curriculum. By prioritizing wellness, we empower students to thrive both academically and personally, setting them up for future success.
