Why Support armbrae?
Armbrae, a small, nurturing and academically rigorous independent school, has a long tradition in the history of education in Halifax. We are committed to our mission of preparing our students for university as life-long learners, critical thinkers, and engaged citizens. It takes outstanding, dedicated faculty, the best in educational programmes and resources, and countless opportunities for growth in leadership and character. Armbrae relies on tuition and philanthropy to realize its mission for each and every student. By supporting Armbrae, you are enhancing the educational experience for our students – the future leaders of tomorrow.
Ways to support
Annual Fund
An annual giving program is the cornerstone of all fundraising activities for all charities, including independent day and boarding schools. Annual giving supports priority projects that the school has identified and that will have a direct impact on the educational experience of current and future students at Armbrae. This is an opportunity for the entire Armbrae community to come together – parents, alumni, faculty and staff, former parents, grandparents, the Board, and friends of the school – to show their support and make a difference to the educational experience of Armbrae students. All gifts, large and small, make a difference! Donations are tax-deductible. We thank you in advance for your support!
Endowment Fund
Across North America, an independent school education continues to be an expensive service, one that is an increasingly challenging goal for many families. In order to maintain a consistently robust enrollment each year, and to provide talented, mission-appropriate students with the opportunity to be transformed by an Armbrae education, we need to increase the size of our current endowment. Diversity in all forms – gender, ethnic and socioeconomic – is key to maintaining and nurturing a healthy and dynamic school community.
With a larger endowment, we will be able to grow and enhance our scholarship and bursary programme for current and prospective promising scholars, artists, leaders, and athletes at Armbrae.
In addition to our scholarship and bursary programme, we want to build endowed funds to support faculty professional development in order to not only attract the best educators but to also ensure that they remain leaders in their fields. This is critical to providing an outstanding educational experience for our students and to elevating Armbrae’s position as a leader in education.
In order to further enhance the academic, athletic and artistic experiences for our students, we intend to create endowed funds that will help to further elevate our programmes and to ensure that we have the funds to implement creative and cutting- edge initiatives in the years ahead. These funds will serve to further galvanize the first class programmes and experience of an Armbrae education.
