Guide to Giving

A gift to the Lycée fuels our mission: to prepare our students today to be the thinkers, innovators and leaders of tomorrow.

The Lycée depends on voluntary gifts to provide the best education possible in a changing world. The School’s annual operating income comprises four sources: tuition, co-curricular activities and fees, the Annual Fund and Gala, and support from the endowment. Restricted major gifts in support of capital projects, educational programs and the endowment are another important part of giving to the Lycée.
We salute the many parents, alumni, parents of alumni, corporations, foundations, grandparents, trustees, faculty, staff and friends who choose to make a gift every year. Their generosity allows this community of learners to thrive.
The Lycée is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational organization, and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. As an independent school, the Lycée receives no government funding.

Why Participation Matters

Participation in annual giving reflects our community's commitment to the Lycée and our students. High participation in giving by families is an indicator of a healthy institution worthy of additional support in the eyes of corporations and foundations with grant opportunities.

Your gift matters. We ask all members of the Lycée community to support our school, our students and our mission.
