The Philip C. Nix Faculty Fund, established in 2009 to honor our founding head of school, ensures that faculty remain our top priority and our most precious resource.

Gifts to this fund directly support faculty excellence today and for generations to come. Each spring, during our annual La Dolce Vita (LDV) auction, we invite our community to invest in this vital fund (though gifts are accepted throughout the year!). Contributions help provide competitive salaries and benefits, including retirement, support robust professional development opportunities, and recognize extraordinary teaching and service. With 25% of all gifts dedicated to the endowment, now valued at over $1.65 million, we are building lasting support for our educators.

Faculty expenses represent nearly 70% of our operating budget. Your gift to the Philip C. Nix Faculty Fund is a meaningful way to celebrate and sustain the passionate, innovative educators who shape our students’ lives every day.
