Why Support

From the time Corlears School opened its doors in 1968, school families have worked together to support the school and its mission – to cultivate the joy in learning in a diverse, intimate environment with an involved community.

This support has come in a variety of ways - from parents using their own hands to renovate two townhouses for this nursery through fifth grade school on West 15th Street to volunteering time and labor to family events to financial support.

Corlears’ families, grandparents, staff, alumni, alumni parents, foundations, and friends provide financial support to Corlears every year because they have a deep commitment to a school that fosters innovative thinking and a sense of social responsibility in young children. Financial support is given through our Annual Fund, our annual Auction benefit, our Capital Campaign, and our Endowment.

We are grateful to our generous community for their many contributions. As a result, our students receive a rich education in a creative, stimulating environment, where their many talents and skills are respected and their creativity and inquiring minds are nurtured every day.
