Community of Givers

Welcome from Development!

Duke School's Development Office oversees fundraising, events, Parent School Organization and alumni relations. We are dedicated to support the school's mission by securing financial resources, nurturing lifelong relationships, and developing a deep love and respect for our community.

The reputation and growth of Duke School are truly testaments to the success of our project-based curriculum. It can be observed the moment you step on our campus!

The Preschool outdoor learning environment, where the children are growing their own vegetables, the Lower School, where students are participating in their service learning projects, and the Middle School, where students are preparing for field studies, are all examples of our integrated project-based curriculum.

As we prepare the next generation of problem solvers for our complex world, we rely on strong philanthropic support from our trustees, parents, grandparents, past parents and friends. These gifts help shape the environment which produces outstanding students who are independent learners, thinkers and decision makers.

Donations from our Dragon Fund, Auction and Major Gift Program make a positive impact on all aspects of Duke School.
