The Gift of Opportunity

“The name Foxcroft Academy makes me think of lots of fun and teachers who really care about students. Before coming to Foxcroft Academy , I had never seen teachers with as much passion and joy in teaching students. I appreciated all the learning opportunities this school offered me and no matter where I travel in the world I can proudly say I graduated from Foxcroft Academy . It will always remain a special place for me.” Myo Chan Kim ’07 Gonzaga University, Washington

Over the last three years Foxcroft Academy has added 22 new course offerings for students including such courses as Orchestra/Chamber Ensemble, AP Statistics, Physics II, Home Engineering, Art History and Economics. With tuition dollars only paying for a portion of a student’s education at Foxcroft Academy, our charitable contributions are helping to create new opportunities for our day and boarding students. Thank you for your gift - your gift of opportunity.

Your gift shows an understanding of the challenges inherent in funding independent school education as we work to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the true cost of an FA education. Our goal to raise $75,000 in unrestricted funds in support of the instructional budget came up just a little bit short; however, total charitable giving amounted to over $383,000 in cash and in-kind gifts (denoted with *). These charitable gifts support specific academic, athletic and scholarhip programs as well as our endowment. Again, thank you for your generosity to Foxcroft Academy.
