As with other independent schools, HKIS sets tuition at less than the full cost educating your child.  Our school relies on several other sources of revenue including our charitable giving campaign – The Annual Fund.

The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of the school’s fundraising efforts.  Like many independent schools, HKIS sets tuition at less than the full cost of educating its students.  The Annual Fund helps bridge this gap by supplementing the school’s operating budget.  Eighty percent of each unrestricted gift goes directly into this year’s operating budget, while the balance goes into an endowment to support the school in years to come. 

Everything from faculty salaries and professional development to a variety of programs including academics, arts, athletics, drama and extracurricular activities receives support from the Annual Fund.  Designated gifts to the Annual Fund support specific programs and special initiatives.

Everyone in the HKIS community is encouraged to contribute, no matter the size of the gift.  The generous support of parents, alumni, parents of alumni, faculty, staff, corporations and friends enables the school to provide an exceptional level of education, year after year. 

Participation in the Annual Fund demonstrates commitment and support of the school’s Mission and Student Learning Results.  Every division, every program, and every student is a beneficiary of the Annual Fund.
