Purposeful futures are being built today at Pacific Ridge School. By supporting the school’s annual operating expenses, the Annual Fund supplements tuition and has an immediate impact. Gifts to the fund are used in the year they are received. By giving, you help the school take advantage of mission-driven, real-time innovations and investments that keep a Pacific Ridge education dynamic and outstanding – both inside and outside of the classroom.
THE EFFECT OF THE PACIFIC RIDGE ANNUAL FUND CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS: • Students have access to cutting-edge classroom technology and equipment. • E xperienced and passionate teachers receive competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development. • Artists and athletes enjoy plentiful, high-quality resources. • Students become leaders through purposeful, co-curricular activities such as service learning and global travel. … and so much more!
These are direct benefits to our students and will enhance their educational experience at Pacific Ridge

WHY SUPPORT THE ANNUAL FUND? As is the case at virtually all independent schools, tuition and fees do not cover the full cost of educating students, nor do they cover the cost of new buildings or major improvements. The Annual Fund helps close the operating gap, moderates tuition increases and keeps a Pacific Ridge education accessible to the widest range of qualified applicants possible.
