giving

The excellent school you know today is made possible by the vision and generosity of those who came before us. Please do your part, make a gift today, and support The Common School tradition of giving back.

Annual Fund

A donation to the Annual Fund is the most valuable gift you can give The Common School. It supports the day-to-day operation of the school, provides financial assistance to our economically diverse student body, and attracts and retains the best teachers and the classroom materials they need to teach our innovative curriculum. Simply, the Annual Fund makes a difference for our students, every day.
