The Middle Way School Annual Fund

MIDDLE WAY SCHOOL is a model school for a global movement, bringing the wisdom of the dharma into all aspects of learning. Rooted in contemplative practices that benefit learners of all backgrounds, we’re preparing children with the awareness, knowledge, and skills to create a more thoughtful and compassionate world.

The MWS Annual Fund is the sustaining force 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.

Gifts to the MWS Annual Fund support need-based tuition assistance; sustain our uniquely holistic programming; underwrite essential professional development for educators; provide core support and maintenance for our campus and learning spaces; open up field trip opportunities for students of all grade levels; and supplement the day-to-day needs of our school.

Join us in building an educational movement rooted in Buddhist wisdom and compassion—one that starts right here in our classrooms.
