Annual Fund
At Granada Preparatory School, we rely on the generous support of our families to provide our students with an outstanding school experience. We strive for 100% each year because the vibrant Granada Preparatory School experience depends upon more than tuition dollars alone.
Because of our generous community, we can fund GPS programs such as:
- Professional development for faculty, staff and administration including safety, diversity, equity and inclusion and IB training.
- The arts, including tools and supplies like painting and instruments.
- Technology for differentiated learning, including iPad software that allows for differentiated activities in class
- New curriculum initiatives including robust STEM programs
Let's Create a Bright Future
Over the past 45 years, Granada Preparatory School has offered its students a rich academic foundation based not only on reading, writing, math, social studies and science, but also on the core values of leadership, personal responsibility, and good citizenship. The IB learner profile attributes are incorporated into all aspects of the educational program where we encourage students to think deeper, see things from different perspectives, become caring and responsible citizens and take action. GPS students learn how to learn and express their ideas and opinions in a variety of ways. Our inclusive environment and caring faculty help our students to develop the real life skills necessary to succeed.
This complete IB educational experience is not sustained by tuition alone. The school depends on a culture of giving from our generous community in “Creating a Bright Future” for our students. Monetary gifts through our Annual Fund are essential to maintaining and enhancing the GPS IB experience. Your tax-deductible gifts are solicited to cover the difference between tuition revenue and the school’s actual operating costs.
Last year’s annual fund contributions allowed us to do the following:
. Replace 20 aging iPads.
. Add an additional STEAM field trip.
