Giving Opportunities
The Academy depends on the support of parents, friends, grandparents, alumnae, and community members who believe in its mission of maintaining high standards of academic excellence while providing a nurturing environment infused with the richness of Jewish life.
Like many private and Jewish day schools, tuition and fees do not cover the full cost of educating each child in our school. Our tuition covers approximately 70% of that cost. The funds that are raised, each year, help cover teacher enrichment, special programming and the school’s overall ability to enhance the environment for our student community.
The Academy offers a number of ways to give a tax-deductible contribution that will help us to continue to provide the highest quality education and programming to current and future generations of Jewish children.
Shomrei Torah
Our Annual Campaign is the cornerstone of support for our operational and scholarship needs. Its goal is to sustain and enhance the highest quality academic program, provide tuition relief, and allow for needed improvements in our buildings and grounds. Every family should participate in the schools annual campaign, because every HAMC child and family benefits. By making a gift to Shomrei Torah, regardless of size, you help to ensure that the HAMC is operating on a solid foundation.
