Teacher Endowment
For 70 years, Country School teachers have cared for and instructed our most precious commodity, our students. The school must continue to offer competitive compensation to attract and retain the best educators. Today, 59 faculty members exude our mission. They make a living and make a life on campus, often wearing hats beyond the classroom - as coaches, as parents, as advisors, as trip leaders, as committee chairs. Academic leadership and teaching delivered by our faculty represent the heart of Country School and its mission.
The Teacher Endowment allows us to increase salaries while also paying stipends, bringing us closer to public school compensation and better-endowed independent schools.
In 2019, Matt and Eliza Sharp P ’20, ’20 launched the Teacher Endowment with their gift. Since then other grateful families have come together with gifts to inspire our entire community to make a difference to the teachers who have shaped the lives of our alumni and continue to mold the minds of our future alumni. We aim to add $3,000,000,000 to the Teacher Endowment, with the annual draw earmarked specifically to invest in three key areas for faculty: compensation, professional development, and retirement.
Donors may make a gift in honor or memory of the teachers, staff members and administrators whose impact lives in their hearts.
