WAYS TO GIVE
Giving at Apple Orchard School benefits The Lee Albright Scholarship Fund and The Apple Orchard Teacher’s Fund. We are grateful and appreciative of your gift.
The Lee Albright Scholarship Fund
Apple Orchard is committed to creating a diverse community of families, students, and faculty. We strive to ensure that everyone at Apple Orchard feels a sense of connection and belonging. Each year, Apple Orchard School provides scholarship support to approximately 20% of its students.
The Scholarship Fair is one of the ways we raise these funds. We also rely on the generous donations of parents, grandparents and alumni. The success of our fundraising is important to the school community and to many families who, because of these gifts, will be able to attend Apple Orchard.
Your creativity, generosity, and positive energy are integral to making scholarships possible.
The Teacher's Fund
Apple Orchard School provides a supportive and stimulating environment for teachers and children to thrive. Funds raised for the Teacher's Fund help our school attract and retain excellent, talented teachers, and provide benefits beyond what is possible on a regular basis. Teachers are able to attend workshops, seminars, and courses as well as continue their education and explore new areas of learning and expertise.

The Lee Albright Scholarship Fund
In Support of the
Lee Albright Scholarship Fund
Our Scholarship Fair is a wonderful chance for current families, alumni, and new families entering the school to come together, enjoy time connecting, and have fun while supporting our deep commitment to affordability.
At Apple Orchard, we are committed to enabling a diverse group of children and families to attend our school and strongly believe that racial and socioeconomic diversity enrich our community and benefit all our families.
Through our community's generosity, each year Apple Orchard provides scholarship support for approximately 20% of our students.
The Teacher's Fund
The Teacher’s Fund has made inspiring professional learning possible for our faculty. Through its support, teachers have traveled with Teach for Love programs to Egypt and Japan, broadening their perspectives and bringing new ideas back to our classrooms.
​
More recently, several teachers have pursued certification in Forest Therapy, deepening their understanding of the restorative power of nature. In the coming year, one of our teachers will participate in a DEIB Leadership Fellowship through Embrace Race. Our school continues to strengthen its literacy program with the guidance of a weekly consultant.
We are committed to providing our teachers with the highest-quality professional development, ensuring they use evidence-based practices that support young children's learning while remaining true to our belief that meaningful outdoor experiences are essential to healthy development.
Through these investments, we continue to grow as a school community where children leave with strong foundations, a deep connection to the natural world, and a genuine respect for both themselves and others.
