Building a Legacy

Join the Circle of Giving

Be part of a lasting legacy as we approach
50 years of Circle School magic.

Choose your Circle to help ensure 50 more.

As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2034 and embark on a generational leadership transition, we’re uniting our passionate community to build a $1 Million endowment and secure the legacy of The Circle School for generations.

Your gift to the Legacy Fund—our endowment for securing The Circle School’s future—amplifies the transformative power of democratic education—nurturing creativity, fostering belonging, and inspiring generations to dream, grow, and thrive.

The Goal

$1 Million by 2034
(just in time for the school’s 50th birthday!)

Our generous financial aid program is the backbone of The Circle School’s thriving and diverse community — and leaves a significant operating gap every year. Circle School Trustees have identified that closing this gap in a permanent way is one of the most important things we can do to ensure the school’s long-term impact. Earnings from the Legacy Fund’s $1 Million endowment will provide:

  • Financial stability and reduce reliance on year-to-year fundraising.
  • Resources for our innovative program, fair staff compensation, and the robust financial aid that makes The Circle School accessible to many families.
  • A foundation that empowers The Circle School to thrive for generations.

Your Gift Matters

Ten years ago, we launched a campaign to raise money for The Circle School’s dream home. Thanks to the dedication of our community, gifts of all sizes helped make the Meadow Campus a reality. Today, The Meadow Campus stands as a testament to what we can achieve together.

Now we’re embarking on a new initiative: the Legacy Fund.

When you contribute to the Legacy Fund, you’re planting the seeds for future generations to thrive.
