Like most independent schools, PDS makes an appeal each year to all members of the school community to support the Annual Fund. These gifts constitute the most important source of funds available to PDS and are essential to making--and keeping--it the truly special place that it is.

The Annual Fund provides the school with the necessary flexibility to meet areas of highest institutional need, such as competitive faculty salaries, student financial aid, improved technology and campus maintenance. Your tax-deductible gift to the PDS Annual Fund enables us to keep tuition increases moderate and this distinctive institution healthy and strong.

Since tuition does not cover the actual cost of educating each student, PDS relies on the Annual Fund to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the school's total operating expenses. The level of participation in the Annual Fund is also important, demonstrating the level of our community's commitment to PDS. So, please give today to the Annual Fund. Gifts of any size are welcome; we ask that you make PDS a philanthropic priority and give as generously as you can. Thank you for your support!
