Giving to Chesterfield Day School

Congratulations on your desire to support Chesterfield Day School! Our students appreciate the sacrifice needed to provide a superior education and celebrate when their parents support their learning through contributions to the Annual Fund. Every single student enrolled in any independent school, including Chesterfield Day School, is receiving part of his or her education through voluntary donations to the Annual Fund.

The very reasons that parents choose independent schools: strength of academic program, a shared responsibility for the while child, and a network of peers in a safe and well-equipped facility, are the basis of the annual operating budget. The definition of an independent school requires that not only are the school mission and programs developed independently, but that its sources of income are independent. For this reason, schools like Chesterfield Day School rely upon significant voluntary donations from all constituencies to offset the difference between the real cost of educating a child and money raised from tuition alone.
