How Does The New School Montessori Stay Alive and
Well?
Fundraising
Fundraising is
an important part of The New School Montessori’s operations. Costs
often exceed general tuition income and therefore make it necessary
that we engage all members of our community in our fundraising
efforts. Current parent, grandparent, friend or visitor
to our website, we encourage you to review the many opportunities
that are available for anyone wishing to support our fundraising
efforts and perhaps more importantly, our core values and mission.
Please click on any of the following links to
go to a particular page where you can learn about anyone of our
specific fundraising campaigns. If you choose to donate on
line, please feel confident that your information is secure and
protected. Additionally, please feel free to contact us at on
line at info@thenewschool.cc or by
phone at 513.281.7999 if you have comments or questions about how
you can participate.
Independence and Finances
The New School Montessori acts independently and operates
without tax revenues from city, state or federal government.
As with all independent schools, tuition at The New School Montessori does not
cover all of the operating expenses. TNSM is supported through
tuition income, fundraising income and Annual Giving. A small
amount of expenses are covered by a state reimbursement
allowance.
It is necessary to operate in a financially
sound manner so that we can continue offering the exceptional
education for which we are recognized. The responsibility for
insuring this fiscal stability belongs to all members of TNSM
community. Parents, grandparents, friends and alumni directly
benefit current students and help guarantee that TNSM will continue
to serve children in the future by participating in any or all of
our fundraising campaigns.
Our costs tend to increase at a rate above that
of inflation because so much of the budget goes to staffing
expenses. We want to preserve an economically diverse school
community, so we try to keep tuition increases at a reasonable
level without jeopardizing our high quality program. To do
this, The New School Montessori relies on other sources, specifically Annual
Giving and fundraising, to cover the difference between tuition and
operating expenses.
