Strategic Growth Fund Campaign

Help support and sustain the long-term operational health and growth of our school through a generous gift to our Strategic Growth Fund.

Deepening and expanding our program.

Our previous strategic plan, Vision 2020, incorporated input from a wide range of stakeholders and provided a cohesive yet flexible road map for growth. As the only elementary school in the Chicago metro area serving bright children with learning disabilities, there is a significant lack of options for these students and their families. By expanding our capacity, instruction and knowledge base, we can serve more children who need specialized services.

Our new strategic plan builds upon this directive, while at the same time charging us to keep our school reflective of our values. We are committed to a research-based, flexible and inclusive school curriculum.

Our Goal

The goal of the Hyde Park Day School Strategic Growth Fund campaign is to raise funds which will allow us to proactively manage the continued growth of our school, while sustaining our long-term operational health.

Gifts will allow us to plan for long-term strategic directives while maintaining our current standards of excellence. A Strategic Growth Fund will provide a crucial base of support as we carefully and thoughtfully expand to serve more children with learning disabilities, their families and educators.

These funds will allow HPDS to:

Expand the number of students receiving financial aid thereby enabling more students to benefit from the specialized curriculum HPDS offers
Have a financial cushion so that scholarship dollars do not decrease during lean years and so operations can be sustained at or above the current level
Cover operational needs beyond tuition revenue and annual charitable giving
Capitalize on opportunities that would be of benefit to the school, both short-term and long-term
Make capital improvements to our campuses
Keep tuition rates stable
Support long-term growth
Support the long-term financial security of HPDS

Meet Our Donors

Our daughter’s experience at HPDS was truly life altering! Rebecca started in 4th grade broken down and defeated. She left 3 years later, happy and full of confidence, armed with invaluable academic strategies and tools. We will be forever grateful to all the amazing HPDS teachers, specialists and support staff for their endless dedication and belief that Rebecca could succeed in school.

Hyde Park Day School has provided an excellent education for our two children with learning differences. Top notch teachers and an individualized learning plan which includes strategies to help students throughout their lives are just two examples of the unique approach at Hyde Park. Both our children are happier, more confident and resilient after attending the school. Bryan and I donate to the Strategic Growth Fund in order to help other children benefit as our family has.
