Every year North Park Elementary School updates its curriculum, offers diverse after-school activities, and encourages students to learn to express themselves in new ways through important co-curricular classes, such as Spanish and Creative Drama. These and other enriched opportunities are made possible through donations to the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund provides unrestricted dollars to support and enhance North Park Elementary School and its academic mission, defraying costs not covered by tuition. In one way or another, every NPES student benefits from the Annual Fund every day.
Thanks in large part to Annual Fund contributions, North Park Elementary School is the least expensive non-sectarian, private school in Chicago, which enables families from a diverse range of economic backgrounds to attend. As the least expensive, private, non-sectarian school in Chicago, NPES fills an important niche in the education sector. When you support NPES, you are not only enabling the school to continue to provide an enriching experience for its students, but you are also supporting the important role that non-public schools play. Private schools provide parents with choice for their children's education, enable innovation through advanced teaching methods, and promote and inspire overall excellence in education.
Every donation, no matter the amount, helps North Park Elementary School and its students to flourish: the returns of investing in NPES are visible every day in the students' achievements as they continue on journeys of lifelong learning.
