Canterbury – like most independent schools – relies on voluntary gifts to The Canterbury Fund to help make up the difference between tuition and the actual cost of a Canterbury education.

By supporting the operating budget, The Canterbury Fund supports the educational experience of every Canterbury student. These funds are allocated to the most critical needs at all grade levels throughout the year in which they are pledged and paid.

The consistent support of The Canterbury Fund each year is a remarkable statement of the commitment to Canterbury by Board members, parents, grandparents, faculty, alumni, parents of alumni and friends.

Participation is crucial to success and we'd like to thank everyone for taking responsibility for their role in the effort.

If you've already made a gift or pledge for the 2012-2013 campaign, please accept our most sincere thanks. If not, please join us today and click here to give a gift online or a pledge online.

The Canterbury Fund is a great opportunity for all of us to express our ongoing support for the school and its mission.

Dear Parents, Alumni and Friends,

As we prepared for school this year, we were all in fine Olympic spirit, heralding the champions, cheering on underdogs from little-known countries, embracing the successes of individuals not all of whom reached the winners’ podium, and celebrating the spirit of national pride that surrounded flags from all over the world. It seems particularly fitting that our Canterbury Fund theme for this year now echoes this celebration of loyalty, as the words of the school song, “to white and blue, we’re always true,” remind us of the special attachments that Canterbury evokes.

Parent and alumni surveys conducted in conjunction with our recent evaluation by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) provided exceptional confirmation of the strong relationships that exist within the Canterbury family. This is both inspiring and humbling, and it reminds me of the gratitude I feel to so many parents who show their support for this school in so many ways, of the fervent wish I have that yet more alumni children could join us at school as members of the growing “second generation” legacy, and of the wonderful role that grandparents and parents of alumni play in our school life. We have such important work to do at school each year in classrooms from Early Childhood through High School, and the resources to accomplish this work are only made possible through the ongoing commitments demonstrated by our extended family.

The ISACS team noted frequently the uniqueness of a Canterbury experience, both in the qualities of the program and in the spirit of community. It is that spirit that is sustained so clearly in the successes of the Canterbury Fund each year, and it is my privilege to say thank you once again on behalf of the school for your remarkable generosity, a sure sign that “to white and blue, we’re always true.”

With all best wishes,

Jonathan Hancock
Headmaster
