Giving to The Royce School

The Royce Annual Fund

2026-2027 Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is the heart of giving at The Royce School. It fuels the programs, people, and experiences that make our mission possible every single day, and this year we are asking our community to help us reach $150,000 by June 30, 2027.

This Year’s Goal

Every gift moves us closer to this year’s goal.

Your gift to the Annual Fund directly advances our Strategic Plan, helping us deliver specialized instruction, provide financial aid, attract and retain exceptional educators, expand innovative programs, enhance facilities, and build a sustainable future for generations of Royce students.

Tuition covers a great deal of what happens at Royce, but it has never covered all of it. The gap between what a family pays and what a Royce education actually costs is closed every year by people who give. This year that gap is roughly $2,100 per student, and the Annual Fund is how we close it.

2026-2027 Goal

$150,000

Every gift, of any size, gets us there.

From the Executive Director

Why I Am Asking

Danny Howell Executive Director of The Royce School

Dear Royce Families and Friends,

There is something truly special about watching a student discover what they are capable of. At The Royce School, we see those moments every day as students gain confidence, discover their strengths, and experience success in an environment designed to help them learn and thrive.
What makes Royce special is the individual attention our students receive from teachers and staff who truly understand how they learn. Small classes, specialized instruction, dedicated teachers, and opportunities in STEM, fine arts, athletics, life skills, and more help provide our students with a well-rounded educational experience.
Providing this level of support requires resources beyond what tuition alone can provide. That is why the Annual Fund is so important to The Royce School.
This year, our Annual Fund goal is $150,000. Your generosity helps support teacher development, tuition assistance, specialized classroom materials and technology, and programs that enrich the experience of every Royce student.
Every gift matters, regardless of the amount. Strong participation from our Royce families, alumni, grandparents, friends, and community partners also shows that those who know our school best believe in our mission and our future.
I hope you will consider making a gift at a level that is meaningful to you and your family. Together, we can continue to strengthen The Royce School and provide our students with the opportunities and support they need to succeed.
Thank you for believing in our students and for being such an important part of the Royce School community.

Warmly,

Danny Howell

Executive Director, The Royce School
