Giving

For more than 50 years, Corbett Prep has created an educational environment where students feel happy and engaged, which in turn makes them more open to learning. 

Your support makes the daily magic of a Corbett Prep education possible while also looking toward the future. It ensures students have access to cutting-edge technology and programs that shape their academic and personal growth, and it allows Corbett Prep to recruit, retain and develop teachers with the vision and experience to carry out our school’s mission. 

We offer several ways for our alumni, families and friends to donate, online and in person, to our annual giving campaign as well as our two endowments.

Why give to Corbett Prep?

Your support helps in three major areas:

1. Endowment Scholarship Fund: The Gift of a Corbett Prep Education. The Endowment Scholarship Fund increases opportunities for students and families in need. Through the generosity of donors this fund ensures a diverse learning community and makes it possible for mission-appropriate candidates to attend regardless of financial constraints. 

2. Dr. Joyce Burick Swarzman Teacher Development Fund: Every Child Deserves a Teacher of the Year. The Teacher Development Fund honors Dr. Joyce Burick Swarzman, who led Corbett Prep and Independent Day School for more than two decades. Dr. Swarzman has conducted professional development for more than 20,000 educators locally, nationally and internationally. This fund will continue her legacy of training by supporting above-and-beyond training opportunities for teachers to implement innovative programs and best practices. Master teachers bring out the best in each student. 

3. Annual Giving: Together for Excellence. This yearly giving campaign bridges the critical difference between tuition revenue and the actual operational cost of a Corbett Prep education. The support of our annual giving program is important for preserving the highest level of teaching and learning, balancing the budget and upgrading facilities.
