Why Give to Saint John's Prep School?

"Prep Made a Difference in My Life"
Probably the most frequent reason why people support Saint John's Prep financially is because Prep made a difference in their life and they want to ensure that the school can continue to be a positive influence for other Preps.

Each year, in addition to supporting student programs, donations fund financial assistance for students. We include over $700,000 in our operational budget to help students in need; nearly $400,000 comes from the Prep School’s endowment fund and the rest comes from annual gifts. Your gift truly helps a student in need today.

We continue to express thanks to all of our volunteers and supporters. The generous support we receive from our alumni/ae, friends and parents is a key component to the unique quality of our community. Your continued generosity allows us to build a sustainable future for Prep. As members of this community, you make a difference in our daily efforts and perpetuate the Prep tradition of excellence.
