Annual Report 2021-2022

You make all the difference.

The LES Fund is an annual fundraising campaign that feeds the school’s budget.  Tuition only covers a  portion of the cost of running the school.  The gap between tuition and the cost of educating students was $3500 per student during the 2021-2022 school year.  Rather than raising tuition to cover the full cost of operating the school, the Board of Trustees strives to fill this gap with donations.  As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations to Los Encinos School are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

In spite of the economic hardships directly impacting our community during the year, we are pleased to have achieved 100% participation in the LES Fund from our Board of Trustees, 100% from our Faculty & Staff, and 98.5% from our families.  We remain thankful for the community’s commitment to the school, and our continuing partnership in delivering the school’s mission-driven program to students each day.

We launched the annual campaign during a virtual Book Buddies event, where we also screened the following video, “Moments & Memories.”
