The New Roads Fund 2025-26
The New Roads Fund sustains the mission that has defined our school since 1995: authentic diversity, academic rigor, exceptional teaching, and a generous community where curiosity leads to discovery.
It bridges the 13% gap between what tuition covers and the actual cost to educate each child. Your participation is powerful. Every gift strengthens the foundation of New Roads.

Why am I being asked to give when i already pay tuition?
The running costs of the school are higher than the income received through tuition. The school intentionally budgets to fundraise for around 15% of our income needs so that we can keep tuition lower and offer the highest amount of tuition support of any independent school around.
When does my gift need to be in?
We are encouraging all families to give by year end. The annual budget for the next calendar year is set in January, so it is crucial to have gifts and pledges in by December 31. If this is not possible, families have until the end of the fiscal year, June 30, for their gift to count in this year’s campaign.
We have other kids in private school and one in college so we are on a tight budget.
We completely understand. What matters most is participation. When every family joins in, it shows our collective belief in New Roads and strengthens our ability to attract outside funding. Every gift helps build momentum and sends a powerful message of unity and pride in our school.
I can't afford a large gift. How will my contribution make a difference?
Every contribution adds up in meaningful ways. Last year, gifts of $200 or less totaled more than $34,000, proof that smaller gifts have a big impact when we all participate. Each donation, at any level, helps sustain the teachers, programs, and diversity that define the New Roads experience.
I can't give right now. Can I make a pledge?
Yes! You can make your pledge online by clicking here, or by filling out and mailing in the remit envelope you received with your letter in the mail in October.
Can I donate by check? If so, who should I make it out to, and where should I send it?
Yes you can! Please makes checks payable to “New Roads School” and send them to:
New Roads School, Attention Advancement, 3131 Olympic Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90404
