Operational costs for the Glassell School are not covered by tuition alone. The Glassell School relies on generous contributions from students and alumni who contribute to the Glassell School Annual Fund Drive. These important donations provide for the most basic, day-to-day necessities of the school. From providing essential upkeep of the facilities and supporting the faculty and staff to enabling scholarships, affordable tuition rates, and special programs, the Glassell School Annual Fund Drive is critical for the on-going success of the school.
