Grymes recognizes that a rich tradition of learning and creativity is never static. We rely on the time, talents, and financial resources generously given by our community to support each and every student that walks through our doors.
While materials and facilities greatly enhance learning, it is the teachers themselves who inspire. Your generosity helps provide materials for our students and maintain our facilities, but more importantly, it helps support the teachers who make Grymes unique.
The cost to educate each student at Grymes is not covered by tuition alone. In fact, tuition only covers about 80% of the actual cost. Grymes relies on annual gifts from our parents, grandparents, past parents, alumni, and friends to bridge the "tuition gap". Gifts to the Annual Fund and to the Endowment allow Grymes to balance the budget each year, while keeping tuition as affordable as possible. This year, the tuition gap per student is $2,662.01.
What makes Grymes unique - passionate and caring teachers, a vibrant curriculum, a rich program in the visual and performing arts, and a diverse student body - depends on a thriving Annual Fund. Every single gift makes a difference.
