The investment you make each year to the Carlisle School Annual Fund ensures that our budget is met, and the programming and instruction are of the highest quality. Like most independent schools, Carlisle’s operational costs are not entirely covered by tuition. Donations to the Annual Fund help to bridge the gap between tuition income and the full cost of a Carlisle education.
Lead. Excel. Succeed.
