The Drive to Thrive is our singular fundraising event for our school year. Each year it supports enhancements to our school’s programming, facilities and/or faculty training. While tuition covers our operational needs, Drive to Thrive helps further enrich the experience for all of our students and families. It also allows us to limit our fundraising ask to a single event each year. As a valued member of the Ronald Knox community, your partnership and participation is critical to the school’s success.

Your support of the school is vitally important. We understand that each family has different circumstances and we encourage you to consider giving at a level at which you feel comfortable. Below are suggested levels of giving. Giving at these levels will be recognized in the year-end bulletin as well as on our plaque in our school.

• Founders Circle: $5,000+
• Leadership Circle: $2,500 - $4,999
• Community Circle: $1000 - $2,499
• Family Circle: $500 - $999

Our goal is to have 100% of families participate at the Family Circle or greater.

Many employers offer matching gift programs and it’s the easiest way to maximize your donation. Please check with your employer to see if they provide this benefit!

Each year our board, faculty and staff review the most pressing enhancements and needs that would provide a heightened Montessori experience for our students and their families. In past years, this included items to better protect our students from COVID-19, replacement materials, faculty development, etc. In the future, we will continue to use these funds to improve our facilities, support our faculty as well as add programming that will benefit all.

No. The Drive to Thrive campaign is the only fundraising event at Ronald Knox. That is why it is so important that each family participate in helping us reach our goal! We will have several other "community events" throughout the year that give families the opportunity to meet each other, build friendships and develop a deep bond with our school, however, Drive to Thrive is the only event that raises money to support the school.
