For the vast majority of independent schools, tuition only covers about 80% of the full cost of educating a child. At Presidio Knolls School that percentage is 85%. Philanthropy advances the measure of excellence the school can provide — the best possible teachers and programs and the facilities worthy of them. At PKS, we are proud of our excellence and grateful to our current parents, our alumni families, and to supporting institutions for their generous contributions. Their giving allows us to reach high and to set our goals for excellence even higher.

Presidio Knolls takes great pride in maximizing the use of tuition dollars. We make every effort to make cost-conscious decisions for the benefit of our community. Our Red Envelope Campaign makes up the difference between what the preschool tuition covers and the cost of running Presidio Knolls at the highest standards of excellence.

The Red Envelope Campaign supports and supplements teaching tools, educational technology and equipment, professional development for our teachers and extracurricular activities for our children.

Presidio Knolls celebrates multiculturalism and emphasizes diversity. The Red Envelope Campaign ensures we can assist families with financial aid/flex tuition to create an inclusive community that will benefit all our children.

Red Envelope gifts may be made by check, credit card, or through marketable securities, and are 100% tax deductible. Many employers sponsor matching gifts program and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. With matching gifts you may be able to double or even triple your gift!
