At Heronfield Academy every gift contributes to creating an educational experience for our students. The Heronfield Fund is our annual giving campaign which directly supports the daily operations and vital programs that enrich the academic year for every student.
Why is The Heronfield Fund Necessary?
As an independent school, Heronfield operates without state or federal funding. Our financial model relies on three main income sources: tuition, invested funds, and charitable donations. The Heronfield Fund helps bridge the gap, providing crucial support for our school’s programs, faculty, and students.
The Heronfield Fund is unique—it is the only fund specifically dedicated to covering the difference between tuition revenue and the actual cost of running the school. While tuition covers about 90% of our operating expenses, the remaining 10% is made up through philanthropic donations. Your gift ensures that Heronfield can continue providing exceptional education and experiences for our students.
Heronfield has a strong tradition of giving, rooted in the vision and example of our founders. They knew that charitable contributions would help establish and sustain an independent middle school where each student’s individual talents were celebrated. When we receive support from the entire Heronfield community, it’s a clear sign that our future is bright—your participation is a vote of confidence in our mission.

What Donors Have to Say
We have been so impressed with the teachers and the overall learning experience at Heronfield, whether that has been in person or online. For us, supporting the fundraising campaign is one way we can help Heronfield continue to deliver such a unique and excellent learning experience. Our daughters absolutely love the school.
We once heard in a sermon to give to organizations because you want to be part of something great. Heronfield is beyond great! We love, Love, LOVE Heronfield! It offers an incredible opportunity that we are fortunate to have in our backyard. Our daughter has thrived in so many ways at Heronfield, where she may have withered in an alternative environment.
As parents we support the goals of Heronfield and appreciate the commitment of its teachers, staff and trustees. We contribute to Heronfield to allow for the schools continuing success as an exceptional Middle School, positively influencing our children’s future academically, socially and morally, both individually as well as part of their larger community.
Without hesitation, we will be supporting the Heronfield Annual Fund. It was an easy decision to make as we believe wholeheartedly in the school’s mission, method and results.
