Participate in the Challenge!

St. Paul, like its peers, uses its Annual Fund to cover the difference between tuition and the full cost of education. While the amount that every family can give varies, the ability to give is the same, and every gift, whether large or small, strengthens St. Paul's ability to deliver on its mission. To encourage 100% participation, several families have committed to make Challenge Gifts above and beyond their Annual Fund gift if a grade achieves 100% participation. As of today, the Challenge Gift amounts for each grade are as follows:

Junior Kindergarten--$3,300
Kindergarten--$10,450
First Grade--$5,750
Second Grade--$5,700
Third Grade--$7,350
Fourth Grade--$6,850
Fifth Grade--$8,250
Sixth Grade--$5,050

Annual Giving

The Annual Fund is St. Paul Christian Academy's largest source of income, other than tuition. Annual Fund dollars are critical for successful execution of the St. Paul mission and provide needed support on an ongoing basis.

Each year, we ask parents of current and former students, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations, and friends to commit annual gifts to help bridge the gap between our budgeted needs and tuition income, which is approximately 10% of our revenue.

The support received through the Annual Fund helps to provide some of the most immediate needs of the Academy, including:

Recruiting and retaining faculty and staff of the highest caliber.
Continuing our commitment to need-based financial aid.
Maintaining a cutting-edge technology program for our faculty and students.
Enhancing and augmenting our physical plant to facilitate excellent whole-child learning.
