As a non-profit organization, money drives how quickly we can fulfill our vision.  We charge as little as we can for our services so that we are affordable for families.  Our operational budget is about 90% covered by tuition.  The remaining 10% comes from those who share our vision.  In addition, our need for a facility has never been more pressing.  As you consider giving, consider two things.  Our vision is not for tomorrow, it is generational.  Our plan is to build an institution that changes the educational outlook in Boise for the next 100+ years.  Secondly, our vision for education is not only distinct, but it has influenced the course of history in the past, and can do so in the future.  We believe that honorable, thinking, and articulate students will be naturally positioned to become leaders in Idaho in the next generation.
