Glades Day School | Annual Fund

Dear Gator Family & Friends,

There is something special about Glades Day School. You see it in our classrooms, where teachers know every student by name. You feel it in our school pride, cherished traditions, and lifelong friendships. Glades Day School is more than a school. It's a home.

LEADING THE WAY. GIVING FOR GENERATIONS.

For years, our generous Institutional Donors, including foundations, businesses, and companies, have faithfully invested in our students and the future of GDS. Their longstanding commitment has helped shape the school we are today, and we are deeply grateful.

As we launch our Annual Fund, GDS Strong: Every Gift Makes a Difference, we invite our entire Gator family to join these dedicated supporters in making a lasting impact.

Every gift, regardless of size, strengthens GDS for today's students and generations to come.

Join us in shaping their futures. Make your Annual Fund gift today!

Every Gift Makes a Direct Impact!

Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating a GDS student. Annual tuition covers day-to-day essentials, but it is the Annual Fund that bridges the gap between tuition revenue and the full, rich experience that makes Glades Day so exceptional, from enhanced classroom technology and campus upgrades to arts, athletics, and safety initiatives.

Suggested Giving Tiers:

When you give to the Annual Fund, you directly enrich the life of every student on campus today. We invite you to consider joining us at one of our giving levels this year:
