The Wesley Fund

Thank you for your continued support of our Mission at Wesley. By now our vision is clear to all in our community: “Within a community of belonging, we nurture joyful, confident learners to think critically, creatively and compassionately.” You have joined us in our pursuit of this mission, through your philanthropy in the past or in the act of joining our community for the first time this year. As the team responsible for manifesting this reality in every aspect of our being at the school, we thank you for all that you’ve done and for all that we hope you will undertake in helping us to craft and define what success in our efforts looks like in the lives of our children.

We are committed to nurturing our children in every way possible, and by definition that effort entails comprehensive support. Certainly we must nourish them, physically and emotionally - we are committed to inspiring and sustaining their curiosity - we are resolved to carefully craft an environment that provides sustenance for their well-being. What this looks like is essentially pastoral care, and that requires abundant and mindfully stewarded resources. For this, we are indebted to and dependent upon you.

When making your annual contribution, you will have the opportunity to select an area of interest that matters most to you and your family. The Wesley Fund Campaign is our largest and most important fundraiser. Contributions made to The Wesley Fund are unrestricted gifts made on a yearly basis that support all aspects of a Wesley education. Each year, we ask everyone in our Wesley community to contribute to this vital campaign. By doing so, your gift helps ensure that our school community achieves our goal of educational excellence through curriculum enhancements, recruitment and retention of exceptional faculty and staff through competitive salaries, technology updates, and most importantly, continuing our ongoing commitment to make a Wesley education affordable to a culturally and socio-economically diverse community.

As we welcome new families and begin the school year, it is essential that each family understands that it takes our entire community of parents, educators, trustees, alumni, grandparents, and friends to lead our students on their journey of transformative learning experiences. The rich personal discoveries our students make while here at Wesley are enhanced by the collective generosity of our community, and we thank you!

Below are a few of Wesley’s top priorities. Check out some of the many ways that your gift can impact an area of interest and let us know what your top priority is when making a gift to The Wesley Fund this year. Note: Should an area of interest exceed a fund’s budget limit, the school may redirect to the area of greatest need.
