Your contribution today builds opportunities for generations ahead.
Students at STS benefit every day from people who invested in the school years before they arrived. Gifts make possible what tuition and government funding alone cannot, and yours carries that tradition forward for students here now and those still to come.
New equipment for a science lab. Financial support for a student. Hearing firsthand from an industry expert. A space designed for discovery. Philanthropy helps STS invest in the people and resources that strengthen learning.
Philanthropic support is essential to what the school can offer. Your contribution today builds opportunities for students you may never meet, and a school that will outlast all of us.
Every year, STS highlights areas of greatest need and opportunity. Our three giving priorities reflect what students, faculty, and families tell us matters most.
Flexible funding enables the school to respond to emerging priority needs, including updates to learning spaces and enhancements to student life.
Support for the Centre brings speakers, experts, and learning opportunities to faculty, staff, students, and the broader community. It reflects a commitment to lifelong learning and ensures that growth in practice and life long learning translate directly into the student experience.
Financial support creates access for amazing students who benefit from the opportunities STS offers.
Scholarships recognize students’ achievements, and bursaries help families who need financial support to attend STS. This year, 22% of our students received financial assistance to enable them to attend STS.
Gifts help cover the cost of learning opportunities offered through the STS Centre for Excellence & Innovation, from professional learning for faculty to Speaker Series events open to families and the wider community.
Donations add the tools that take learning further, from microscopes in the science lab to gear for Outdoor Education trips. Many of the tools students rely on today were gifts from families and alumni.
Donor generosity has shaped the STS campus, creating and enhancing places for students to learn, play, and connect. From trails and outdoor learning spaces to major projects such as Rose Athletic Park, these investments benefit students for years to come.
STS’s campus began with a gift of land from the Cross family. Generations of families, alumni, and friends have continued to build on that gift, creating the spaces students use today.
As we reflect on the past year, we have much to be grateful for. The generosity of our community continues to make a meaningful difference.
Reflections and gratitude from our community on how your gifts have made a difference for them.
Your gift goes where you direct it. If you choose a fund, such as scholarships and bursaries, it is used only for that purpose. Gifts designated to support the Head’s Initiatives Fund lets the Head of School respond to the school’s most important priorities and to new opportunities as they arise during the year, guided by Flourish 2031, the school’s strategic plan. We share updates and reports to ensure our community sees the direct impact of their gifts.
The Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School Foundation, a separate charity governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, oversees and stewards endowed funds that provide ongoing support for students and the school.
We issue charitable tax receipts for eligible gifts. If you would like to learn more about the impact of your support, please contact our Community Relations team.
