Giving
Saint Columbkille Partnership School is mission-driven and committed to ensuring that a high-quality Catholic education is available to all who seek it. Each year we fundraise over $1 million to uphold this mission. Your support is essential.
The Annual Fund at Saint Columbkille Partnership School is our top giving priority because it directly supports our school’s greatest asset - the students. Your support allows our students to receive a transformative education. The Annual Fund makes a difference by:
- Providing essential funding for nearly half of our students who receive financial aid, which provides transformative opportunities for students of all backgrounds
- Keeping the cost of tuition reasonable
- Strengthening the curriculum, including the STEM, art, and music programs
- Maintaining a bright facility and school grounds
- Supporting professional development for our teachers
