High Meadow School is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization. We create an annual budget based on our net tuition revenue, auxiliary program income, and additional funding from donations and grants. Each year, we aim to create a budget that reflects a commitment to our mission, providing an enriching program for our students, growing compensation and learning opportunities for our teachers, and increasing access to our school for families of varying economic status through a range of financial assistance programs.

 

We encourage you to review the budget, particularly the narrative information outlining the choices, values, and goals that the budget reflects. You can access our school's 2024-2025 budget through the link below. This year:

​

• Our budget increases staff, staff support, and financial aid. Financial aid this year is the highest in High Meadow’s history.

• The budget reflects our commitment to controlling tuition costs: net tuition revenue covers only about 75% of the program's cost.

• The budget builds on our commitment to financial responsibility, and is grounded on a strengthening balance sheet.  This year, we were able to draw about 10% from our non-operational savings to support our school's program.

• A key source of additional funds to support our program is donations. This year, we anticipate donations from the High Meadow community of more than $250,000, a record.  (We are already more than 60% of the way to our goal.)

 

As we move into the future, our Board of Trustees and Head of school hope to continue focusing on growth across these areas
