Support Our Mission

Support Each Student’s Experience at MSW

As an independent school, we at The Mountain School at Winhall carefully steward our resources to offer each student an exceptional educational experience. Like most independent schools, we have three primary sources of revenue to operate our annual budget - tuition, grants, and philanthropic gifts.

Most of our expenses are covered through tuition from sending towns or private-pay families. Each year we seek local and state grants to help fill the gap between tuition and the costs of operating the school. This does not cover all our expenses.

Your generous support of The Mountain School at Winhall is a commitment to the school and the Winhall and Stratton community. Our school serves a unique role in this area, and thanks to your support, we can continue to provide local children with an exceptional local education.

Your tax-deductible gifts enhance our children's educational opportunities and enrich their daily learning experiences. Thank you for thinking of supporting our students in their educational journey.

Respectfully,

Margaret Schlachter

Head of School

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund happens every year to support our students. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Mountain School at Winhall education. The school is grateful for its faculty, staff, alumni, students, parents, grandparents, family members and trustees who together raise the needed funds to keep the school thriving.

Annually, our goal is $150,000 with all funds directly supporting each student’s education at MSW.
