The Middle Way School Annual Fund

YOUR GIFT DOUBLED: MATCHING FUNDS UP TO $100,000!

Every donation of any amount will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact and helping us grow together.

MIDDLE WAY SCHOOL is more than an independent school. In collaboration with our sister schools in Asia, we’re building a global education movement that cultivates a wiser, more compassionate generation, infusing modern education with timeless Buddhist wisdom. We need vital partners like you to help this unique model grow and flourish. Beyond our campus walls, your support helps us share our emerging curriculum materials so these ideas can take root in classrooms worldwide.

The Middle Way School Annual Fund is the lifeblood of our school, providing vital unrestricted support directly impacting every student from preschool to sixth grade. As a young school, we are still building the foundation that will support generations to come. Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of an MWS education. Without a legacy endowment or alumni to lean on yet, we rely on the generosity of our immediate community of families and friends worldwide to help us thrive and keep our vision accessible.

Your generosity provides families with tuition assistance, supports teacher training for our dedicated educators and staff, allows for enhancements to our nature-based campus, and contributes to inviting specialty teachers and eminent Buddhist guests for our community.

Double your reach! With a generous $100,000 matching fund in place, every dollar you give goes twice as far for our students and our shared mission. Join us in building a global educational movement that starts right here in our classrooms.

Thank you for considering a gift to Middle Way School. Your support helps us grow a unique model of education rooted in Buddhist wisdom and compassion—one that truly transforms the lives of our children.
