teacher GRANTS

As part of the Parents’ Association’s efforts to build school community and promote educational excellence, we are proud to sponsor annual Teacher Curriculum Grants, which seek to stimulate innovation in our classrooms. We partner with faculty to fund activities that provide unique learning opportunities for students. The PA and each of its School Councils have a limited budget for these types of grants, but we strive to fund as many projects as possible. Projects that have a strong component of hands-on, experiential learning—the “Dewey Way”—are often favored.

In funding these grants, the PA focuses on enriching experiences, community building, social and emotional development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Grants may also support extracurricular activities including clubs, interscholastic competitions, intramural sports, or the arts, or support programs that require a school-home collaboration for their success.

Proposals will be considered and grants determined by the appropriate School Council or the PA Board in conjunction with school leadership.
