Every gift makes the school possible.
Tuition covers roughly eighty-two cents of every dollar BPD Academy spends on a student. The remaining eighteen cents — faculty salaries, financial aid, the Capstone Program, the Arts & Innovation Center — comes from gifts from families, alumni, and friends of the school.
A gift in any form, at any size.
Annual Fund
Unrestricted support, used where the need is greatest each year — usually faculty compensation, financial aid, and program enhancement.
Capital Campaign: Heritage Hall Renovation
Our 1914 academic building is in year two of a phased renovation. Phase II (classrooms wing) opens next fall.
Endowment
Permanent funds that grow the school’s long-term capacity. Named chairs, scholarships, and program endowments available at a range of gift levels.
