Development Office
The purpose of the Development Office is to provide both long and
short-term financial stability for the school, its teachers, staff and
students, as well as its programs and its physical plant. While working
to achieve financial goals through a series of fundraising efforts, the
development team strives to build lasting relationships among its
constituencies and to enhance the school's image and impact in the Bay
Area community.
