The Bertschi Fund is unrestricted, which means that contributions are used where they are most needed each year. In 2021-22, those areas include:
Financial Aid
As we recover from the pandemic, financial aid continues to be a very important way we support our community of families. We award 100% of family need (including Extended Day, Learning Services, and summer camps) and are committed to that support throughout a student's entire time at Bertschi.
Teacher Professional Development
Our excellent faculty is committed to ongoing education, in particular culturally-responsive teaching and anti-bias and anti-racist education training.
Classroom Budgets
We provide all the materials needed for each student and this year plan to invest additional funds into new science kits, robotics and tech equipment, art supplies, drama sets and costumes, and our growing library of books focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
