Your Impact

Philanthropy isEssential

Tuition provides a strong financial foundation for Shore, and philanthropy at every giving level is essential to support our students, faculty, and programs. No matter the size, your gift has a direct and immediate impact on the daily lives of every student at Shore.

Your Impact: The Shore Fund

Like most independent schools, our tuition does not cover the full cost of educating each student—The Shore Fund helps bridge this gap. Without The Shore Fund, maintaining the same level of excellence would require the school to more than triple its $24M endowment. 

Gifts can be directed to the following components of Shore’s mission. We’ve provided examples of the impact you have in each area—and there are plenty of additional examples, too!

    Students explore music with their voices and instruments at every grade level, learning to play such signature Shore instruments as the ukulele and the Zimbabwean-style marimba.

  • Athletics

    Shore offers daily physical education for Lower School students, Project Adventure classes for Upper School students, and intramural and interscholastic athletics teams.

  • Equity & Inclusion

    In 2019, Shore completed an audit of its diversity, equity, and inclusion culture which led to a board-approved Equity & Inclusion
    Commitment in May 2020. Shore is rebuilding curriculum in the Upper and Lower schools and has deepened its library collection from the perspective of including all identities.

  • Faculty & Staff

    Robust investment in professional development is a Shore hallmark.
    All faculty members have been trained in the student-centered
    “Responsive Classroom” teaching model which emphasizes the link
    between academic success and social-emotional learning.

  • Technology

    Shore continues to invest in new and diverse technology to best serve the needs of students, families, and employees. Our dedicated Technology Integration Specialist pushes into classrooms at every grade level and encourages innovation, collaboration, and digital citizenship.

  • Tuition & Financial Assistance

    Over $1 million dollars is available annually to bridge the difference between the amount of tuition and the full cost of a Shore education.
