There Are Many Ways To Give
At The Child’s Primary School (TCPS), we strive to keep tuition as low as possible to make our program available to as many families as possible. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of providing our students with the unique educational experience that we offer. Our fundraising allows us to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a TCPS education for each student. Here are some ways you can support TCPS:
Monthly & Annual Giving
Monthly or Annual Giving have a significant impact in keeping our class sizes small. It is precisely our small class and small school culture that is at the heart of providing each student with a successful social and academic environment that has proven effective for more than 40 years.
Fundraising Events
We have two main fundraising events each year: the Jogathon and our Online Auction. We encourage all TCPS families to volunteer, donate or gather donations, and most importantly, to participate! It’s fun and it helps TCPS!
Volunteer
Volunteering your time and your talents is a very valuable gift that you can give to TCPS and our students. TCPS volunteer opportunities can be completed by current parents, alumni, alumni families, grandparents and other TCPS supporters.
Shop our Giving Partners
Do you need to purchase school or office supplies? Your purchases through Office Depot can benefit TCPS at no extra cost to you.
Office Depot: When you make a qualifying purchase online or in store, provide our Office Depot ID (70013765) and they’ll give TCPS 5% back in credits for free supplies.
Matching Gifts & Sponsorships
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs that match employee charitable contributions. Unsure if your company will provide a match? You can use our Matching Gifts Email to H.R. to send to your HR department. Interested in other sponsorship opportunities for your company? Contact us.
Planned Giving
A planned gift incorporates philanthropy with estate and financial planning to benefit both you and TCPS. Planned gifts can provide many financial and non-financial benefits to you, including fulfillment of philanthropic goals, tax savings, asset management, income, security, and gifts to family. Contact us to learn more.
Gifts of Securities
In most cases, an outright gift of appreciated securities entitles the donor to an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities and, in the case of securities which have been held for more than a year, the avoidance of the capital gains tax.

"It is no exaggeration when I say that TCPS is BEYOND extraordinary. It feels like a second home where I wake up truly happy to attend school. It is a perfect balance between academics, growth, friendships, AND fun. Believe me when I say it is a school like no other!"
— Aviya, class of 2020
Every gift, no matter its size, helps our school.
