Why I give
to MCWS:
“Teaching the whole child.”
“Prepared me for the real world.”
“My child is known and respected.”
These are just a few of the reasons why you give.
It's why you love this School and how your
children are cared for, wanted, and educated.
How they're awakened to their highest potential,
encouraged to foster warmth of heart and
strength of resolve so they can truly make an
impact and a difference in the world around us.
Collectively, we need our children to have the
capacity to rise above the challenges they will
face as adults. We need their clarity of thought
and their compassion for the earth and each
other. More than ever, MCWS needs our support.
Maine Coast Waldorf School offers our children special, heartfelt education.
It cultivates a part of humanity in each student rarely found in other
educational environments. This is not only necessary for the health and
well-being of today’s world, it is also necessary for everyone.
The continued success of the Maine Coast Waldorf
School is made possible by the donations you
make to the Maine Coast Waldorf Fund. Without it,
we cannot make up the difference between
revenue and the true cost and sustainability of
this priceless education. Since you help decide
the future of this School, we depend upon your
generosity of spirit.
With deepest appreciation,
