We want our students to engage fully in athletics. We want them to take a risk, try a new sport, discover their strengths, and experience the highs and lows of competition.

The culture of teaching and learning at Paideia is both personal and individualized. We strive to greet and teach each child personally, understand children individually and encourage them to develop mindful of their own relative strengths and weaknesses, interests and dispositions.

Endowment Giving

Many members of the Paideia community choose to establish or contribute to an endowed fund, creating a lasting legacy. The income from the endowment provides ongoing support to the donor's chosen priority.

The Paideia Endowment is the financial bedrock that provides both stability and flexibility for Paideia. The Paideia Endowment Board invests endowed funds and uses a portion of the income for the purpose the donor specifies, while the remainder is reinvested in the fund to keep pace with inflation.

Endowed funds can be unrestricted, providing a permanent revenue stream or designated for a wide range of purposes, including financial aid or academic programs; and maintenance of facilities.

Endowments of at least $100,000 may be named for the donor and/or someone a donor wishes to honor or memorialize.
