Acera’s ability to offer an extraordinary education is made possible by the ongoing generosity of our broader community.
The commitment of parents, grandparents, alumni, staff, and friends to Acera’s financial strength is what allows fearless teaching and bold learning to happen every day.
Like most independent schools, tuition at Acera does not fully cover the cost of educating each student. We rely on philanthropic support to bridge the gap - ensuring that our programs remain innovative and that our school stays accessible to a wide range of families.
Supporters fuel our mission through the Annual Fund, which is the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts each year, as well as through capital and restricted gifts that help us grow and evolve. We are deeply grateful to all who give. Your support is essential—and it inspires our daily work to bring Acera’s mission to life. Thank you for your generous support.

The Annual Fund is essential to bringing Acera’s vision to life. It supports everything that makes our school extraordinary—from exceptional teachers and hands-on science to ability-based math and the innovative IMP projects that ignite our students’ passion for learning. Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of an Acera education. The Annual Fund bridges this gap, ensuring that every student has access to the opportunities, resources, and experiences that define our school. We strive for 100% parent participation, as every gift—no matter the size—demonstrates our shared commitment to Acera’s mission and makes a meaningful impact on our students.
