From the Head of School

Dear FAIS Community,

Welcome to this year’s Annual Report on Philanthropy. This publication celebrates the incredible generosity of everyone who so willingly gave their time, treasures, and talents in order to continue to deliver our incredible learning opportunities in this most unusual 2020-2021 school year. I am grateful that we were able to celebrate our fifth and eighth graders in person at the end of the year. It was a delight to see so many faces back on campus. Our Annual Fund remained strong and we held a virtual Gala that raised a record amount, including a record breaking Special Appeal to remodel our Inukai Family Foundation Gymnasium and the Rose Préau. All of this was possible because of you! Thank you!

It is your support that enables us to cultivate intellect, foster multilingual learners, develop global citizens, and promote an appreciation for diverse cultures and experiences. Because of the philanthropy of our community, we are able to prepare our students for their futures through immersion and inquiry based programs.

As we embark on a new unique school year, it continues to be the generosity of all you—our parents, trustees, faculty and staff, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, and friends—that enables us to deliver our mission in innovative, creative, and nimble ways. I am genuinely grateful to be a member of this wonderfully committed and generous community, and I look forward to seeing you on campus soon.

Sincerely,

Scott Hardister
