The Middle Way School Annual Fund

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. Beyond our campus your support helps share our emerging curriculum so these ideas can take root in classrooms worldwide.

The Annual Fund is the heartbeat of our school, providing vital unrestricted support for every student from nursery through middle school. As a young school without a legacy endowment or alumni base, and with tuition alone not covering the full cost of an MWS education, we rely on the generosity of our worldwide community of families and friends to keep our vision thriving and accessible.

Your gift provides tuition assistance, supports teacher training, enhances our nature-based campus, and brings specialty teachers and distinguished Buddhist teachers and guests to our community. Join us in building an educational movement rooted in Buddhist wisdom and compassion—one that starts right here in our classrooms and genuinely transforms the lives of children.
