Philanthropy at Langley

Whether you are new to The Langley School or a long-time Langley family,

keep reading.

We aspire to amplify The Langley School’s culture of philanthropy because support for our mission empowers students and teachers to reach their potential.

Targeted to programs, people, and place.

Annual giving provides critical resources to ensure the Langley experience is accessible to the entire school community. This includes enhancements to educational offerings, faculty professional development, facilities, tuition assistance, and health and safety measures.

Feeling the impact.

The philanthropic support from Langley parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty/staff, parents of alumni, and friends makes up most of the difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of a Langley experience.

The difference is $2,800 per student.

Every student benefits. (even students who do not qualify for tuition assistance)

Langley makes every attempt to keep tuition increases low so that a Langley education is accessible to a broad range of families.

But tuition falls short of the true cost of a Langley education, covering 86 percent.

Philanthropy helps close that gap.
