Help Make a Clear Spring Education Possible
At Clear Spring School, we believe every child deserves an education that nurtures curiosity, confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning—regardless of a family’s financial circumstances.
Approximately 80% of our students receive some form of tuition assistance. Last school year, 53 families received $50,527 in need-based Adopt Excellence scholarships, along with $20,796 in work-trade and service assistance—a combined investment of $71,323 in our students and families.
Even with available state funding, many families still face a significant tuition gap. For households already balancing the rising costs of groceries, housing, transportation, and other necessities, an additional $200 or more each month can place a Clear Spring education beyond reach.
Monthly and annual gifts from our Adopt Excellence Partners replenish the scholarship fund and help close that gap. Your contribution—at any level—directly supports families who want their children to experience Clear Spring’s hands-on, hearts-engaged approach to learning.
When you give to Adopt Excellence, you aren’t simply helping pay tuition. You are giving a child the opportunity to learn boldly, grow confidently, and belong to a community that sees and values them.
Together, we can keep an extraordinary education within reach.
