Welcome

Jill Jones

Anthony Robins once said, “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back and become more.” Only through continuing our legacy of giving can Canterbury remain an outstanding institution that is sought out both by incredible educators as a wonderful environment in which to work and by parents as the best school to educate their children.

 

Canterbury, like most independent schools, is responsible for its funding. Tuition serves as our primary source of revenue, but it is not sufficient to cover the total cost of a Canterbury education. To remain an independent school, Canterbury cannot receive financial support from local or federal taxes. Therefore, we rely on charitable gifts to both balance the yearly budget and provide long-term financial stability for the school.

 

The success of our students and our school would not have been possible without a history of generosity.  Please consider joining the hundreds of parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, current and former faculty and staff and dear friends who make Canterbury School part of their philanthropic priorities each year.

 

There are a variety of ways to support our school through financial contributions, and the following have been designated as areas of highest priority:

 

Annual Giving

Capital Giving

Planned Giving

Special Events

Gifts-in-Kind

 

There is a line in the Prayer of St. Francis that says, "for it is in giving that we receive." We hope you find deep satisfaction in what your contributions make possible at Canterbury. Thank you for your support of Canterbury at any level – it truly makes a difference in the lives of every student.  It is your generosity of spirit that allows us to be successful today and in the future.
