CCS Financial Traditions

• Reasonable Tuition Levels
• Maintain as reasonable of a tuition structure
  that we can without ever compromising our
  commitment to academic excellence.
• Confidentiality and Anonymity of Giving
• Do Not Acknowledge People based on the Size of
  their Gift.
• No Platinum, Gold, Silver lists.
• Giving Based on Means
• Encourage our families to give as generously as
  possible, recognizing that some of us can give
  more and some of us cannot give as much.

The School Annual Fund Campaign

• The Annual Fund is used to cover basic operating
  costs that are not covered by tuition.
• By Design, Tuition does not cover the full cost
  of our program.
• The Annual Operating Costs of the School are
  approximately 5,000,000.
• 74 of the operating costs are salaries and
  benefits of the employees of the School.
• Tuition, Fees, and PA gifts cover about
  4,650,000 of the Budget, leaving a 350,000
  Tuition Shortfall that must be funded out of
  the Annual Fund contributions.
