Westmark Fund
When you say YES to admission at Westmark School, you are embracing a transformative educational journey tailored to your student’s unique strengths and needs. Your decision reflects trust in our mission and our expert faculty. Saying YES to the Westmark Fund is a natural extension of that belief—it’s a way of ensuring that the very resources, programs, and innovations that drew you to Westmark continue to shape your student’s experience each and every day.
By saying YES to the Westmark Fund, you help sustain the individualized instruction, educational assistive technology, and enrichment opportunities that make a Westmark education exceptional—not just for your student, but for every student who walks through our doors. You assert our shared commitment to our neurodiverse learners, whose unique ways of thinking, learning, and engaging deserve an environment that celebrates and supports them.
The Power of YES!
YES opens doors for students.
In small classes, our students are empowered to build fundamental academic skills, as well as executive function, self-awareness, and self-advocacy abilities.
YES transforms classrooms.
Westmark’s cutting-edge, research-based curriculum helps neurodiverse students learn deeply, succeed boldly, and discover their unique talents.
YES invests in our educators.
Professional learning opportunities for Westmark faculty and staff keep the inspiration flowing and expertise growing.
YES shines a light on students’ diverse strengths.
Students thrive in vibrant co-curricular experiences, from athletics to performing arts.
YES levels the playing field.
The Westmark Fund ensures equity and opportunity, supporting 34% of our families with tuition assistance.
YES has a direct and immediate impact!
Our highest fundraising priority! Just like at most independent schools, tuition does not entirely cover the cost of educating our students. The Westmark Fund provides unrestricted financial dollars to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and operational costs each year.
YES opens up additional opportunities!
Every family is asked to participate. Every student benefits! Parent participation strengthens the School’s position in applying to foundations for grants and other support. The percentage of families participating also boosts our national rankings, an important metric with the National Association of Independent Schools.
Our Goal: YES from 100% of Families
Every YES Matters
At Westmark, every gift—no matter the size—is an affirmation. Each YES is a declaration that you believe in the promise of every student and the power of what we can achieve together. When we say YES as a community, we amplify our commitment to our students, our mission, and our shared future.
We know that the Westmark community comprises a range of households with varying levels of resources. Our hope is that you make a contribution to the Westmark Fund that is meaningful to you and places Westmark among your top philanthropic priorities for the year.
