on a strong partnership between the school
administration, the Board of Trustees, families
and alumni. Our Goal is to maintain the
extraordinary academic and learning environment

50 years while keeping the tuition fees
reasonable. The Annual Fund was established to
raise the additional needed funds for greater
annual operating support.

the foundation of all school fundraising efforts
and is our first philanthropic priority. Every
year, parents, trustees, alumni, friends, faculty
and staff are asked to support the annual fund,
by making a gift. By supporting Lycée Rochambeau,
