Maintaining our tradition of excellence…Our mission is to promote sound scholarship and to give symmetrical development to mind, body and character. This ambitious pursuit is a lifelong endeavor for everyone in the Barstow community. The continued success of Barstow depends on our financial strength. As a not-for-profit, independent school, we rely on the support of the community we serve.
Financial support of the school falls into three main categories: Annual Giving, Capital Giving and Planned Giving. Annual Giving funds the school’s immediate needs and helps make up the difference between tuition and the actual costs of educating each student. Capital Giving includes major gifts that support large-scale projects such as building renovations or campus expansion. Planned Giving includes unique ways to leave a generous gift for the school, while ensuring optimum tax benefits for you and your beneficiaries.
All contributions to The Barstow School are tax deductible. Gifts may be made in the form of check, credit card (MasterCard, Visa or American Express) or through the transfer of stock. We also encourage you to ask your company’s human resources department about a matching gift program. Matching gifts are a simple way to double or triple the size of your gift.
Your generosity helps provide support for the people, programs and facilities that make the Barstow experience so valuable. We understand that giving is a personal matter involving individual perspectives, and we encourage you to discuss with us any questions or ideas you may have. Please feel free to contact any members of the Development, Marketing and Communications Office team listed below. Thank you for your partnership in strengthening our school.
