How We Give
SJS is a strong community of parents, alumni, staff and governors who are committed to offering an exceptional environment for our children.
We invest a lot in our children. As an independent school community, we are the only ones who will invest in SJS for our children. We ask all members of our community to support the school.
Annual Giving
All members of our community are asked to support Annual Giving to provide resources for programs above and beyond what can be provided by tuition alone. Every program and every student benefits from Annual Giving.
Capital Gifts
Major gifts enhance and expand our facilities and programs by providing the space and resources needed to build the breadth and depth of all our programs.
Endowed Financial Aid
We create opportunities for talented students to attend SJS who would not otherwise be able to. This commitment is supported in perpetuity through the endowment fund.
Parent Association
We work closely with the Parent Association Executive (PAE) to encourage active parent involvement in the SJS community. Volunteerism, events and services (used uniform sales and hot lunch program) all enrich our community.
Communications
Providing information to our community is vital to our mission – the website, weekly parent e-newsletter, alumni e-newsletter, publications and more.
Marketing
Advancement promotes the school to ensure we attract and select families who support the mission of the school and the values of our community.
Alumni Relations
Networking opportunities: We engage our alma mater by inviting former students to give back to the community as mentors through University Counselling, Arts Week, coaching teams and more.
