The success of Maryvale Preparatory Academy relies heavily on parents and community members giving of their time, talent, and treasure. Please click here for more information on these keys ways to support our campus.
In regards to giving of treasure, Maryvale Prep is a public charter school that depends on the funds raised through two annual fundraising campaigns: The Community Investment campaign supports our academic model in the classroom and the Tax Credit drive supports our extra-curricular programs. Together these two efforts are vital to the health of the school and our ability to provide a full prep school education to every student. You can make your annual Community Investment or Public School Tax Credit contribution securely online here.
The essential priorities of Maryvale Prep's educational model cost more per-student than what we receive from the state. Therefore, we ask our families to contribute to the annual Community Investment campaign and help make up that difference.
What does it support?
Family support through the Community Investment campaign allows the leadership of Maryvale Prep to run the school day-to-day, and to hold fast to our mission as we plan and grow. Your gift will:
Help establish a public prep school for a community in desperate need
Give our young scholars the same educational opportunities as their suburban peers
Help transform lives, families, and communities for the next generation
Our teachers instruct far fewer students than the district average, are better able to prepare for their lessons, and have more time for communication with parents. Community Investment gives our teachers the resources they need to transform our young scholars into future leaders in their communities.
How can I participate?
Please consider a contribution of $1,200 to sponsor a Maryvale Prep student. A gift to Maryvale Prep helps to cover the per-student gap between what we need for our academic model and what we receive from the state. Many of our supporters choose to spread out their student sponsorship contribution by making monthly gifts over the course of the school year. Other families make a one-time gift to the Community Investment campaign. Giving at any level is vital to supporting the priorities of Maryvale Prep.
