Welcome!

Whether you are an Alumni, Family, or Friend of Alcuin Montessori School, your association lasts a lifetime. We ask that you take this opportunity to help build a bridge to Alcuin’s future. 

The second oldest Montessori School in the United States, Alcuin is Oak Park’s premiere educational institution. Students and teachers have experiences that sustain the celebration of diversity and discovery. Annual contributions to Alcuin provide budgetary support for numerous improvements that ensure each student’s ability to embark on their journey toward an "Education for Life". By making your gift to the Alcuin Fund, you help with the school's greatest needs, including: ensured financial assistance for socio-economic diversity; increased opportunities for teacher development; facility expansion and maintenance; pioneering extracurricular programs; the best teaching tools and classroom equipment and safety and security provisions for everyone on campus.

Your gift to Alcuin Montessori—no matter what the size—is greatly appreciated. Consider giving to the Alcuin Fund, and know that your generosity gives students the best opportunity to become tomorrow's leaders. When you choose to help the school, we have several different recognition levels based upon the amount you give. The recognition levels:

Five excellent reasons to support Alcuin Fund

1.  Your donation improves the quality of education each student receives and helps prepare the next generation of Alcuin Montessori alumni. Annual Giving is applied across the budget to ensure financial assistance for socio-economic diversity, increased opportunities for teacher development, facility expansion and maintenance. It helps pioneer extracurricular programs, the best teaching tools and classroom equipment, as well as funds safety and security provisions for everyone on campus

2.  Tuition and fees do not cover the cost of an Alcuin Montessori education. Annual Giving is vitally important as it helps meet the cost of educating a student at Alcuin Montessori. Endowment and interest income also help close this gap.

3.  Our students benefit from a legacy of generosity. Donors to Annual Giving recognize their gift as a response to this “scholarship” and the opportunity for an Alcuin Montessori education.

4.  Contributions are tax-deductible. A donation helps Alcuin Montessori, and an individual's total tax liability can be reduced with a contribution.

5.  Every bit helps. Corporations and foundations often look to the number of donors in choosing the level at which they will support Alcuin Montessori. So, your gift can actually spur additional gifts.

We created this Web site to make it easy for you to stay in touch. We hope that you will revisit our site often and continue to be a part of the Alcuin Community.

We thank you for your generosity in supporting the success of future graduates of Alcuin Montessori School.

Best,
