 | | THANK YOU for supporting all aspects of a Barstow education by contributing to the 2011-2012 Annual Fund. Your gift made a difference. |
Your Annual Fund Gift Makes a Difference As in most independent schools, The Barstow School has a long tradition of charitable giving. This includes support of the Annual Fund, which is the school's priority funding program. Tuition only covers about 80 percent of the cost of educating a child at Barstow. Your gift to the Annual Fund helps make up the difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of running the school. Through the Annual Fund, the entire Barstow community comes together to share the responsibility of keeping the school strong for students, Alumni, and future generations.
