Dragon Fund
Duke School produces outstanding students who are independent learners, thinkers, decision-makers, and problem solvers.
Your interest in and support of the Dragon Fund significantly impacts Duke School daily. Tuition typically covers about 80% of the Independent School experience. For this reason, every gift to the Dragon Fund, regardless of gift size, helps to make a difference in our school community.
Donations assist with enhancing student experiences, teacher and staff development, financial aid, and classroom resources. Duke School relies on the generosity of trustees, parents, grandfriends, alumni, and past parents to sustain these initiatives.
Every annual Dragon Fund gift is a statement of support and commitment to Duke School and the kind of education we provide to our students.
The Supplemental Gap Fund, part of the Dragon Fund, helps families facing financial difficulties, ensuring continued access to education at Duke School. If you're interested in supporting specific initiatives, please contact the Duke School Development Office. Your participation is vital for making education accessible and impactful for all students.
Please join our Duke School community in giving to the 2024-25 Dragon Fund!
