AVS 2011 Movie

Development
Like most independent schools, tuition at Carden Arbor View School does not cover the total costs of education. CAVS relies on development fundraising both from its families and from outside sources to fill the gap between budgeted expenses and desired improvements. Specifically, the monies raised through the 2011-2012 development campaign with a projected goal of $90,000 will be directly focused on maintaining, developing and enhancing our 21st Century Classrooms with state of the art teaching technology and will include the following:
• Laptops, overhead projectors, SMART boards, iMac computers, proscopes and science equipment, and behind the scenes upgrades to our school’s infrastructure.
There are several ways in which the community provides assistance to the school.
schools, Carden relies on annual giving to support expenses not covered by the costs of tuition. Look to the south of the campus as our grade schoolers enjoy the colorful and creative playground environment. This, along with the renovated science lab, iMac computers, SMART boards, and EDLINE are just a few of numerous enhancements that generous contributions have allowed.
•100% Participation is our goal! This year our goal is to encourage 100% participation from our Board of Trustees, families, faculty and raise $75,000 from our AVS campaign. We anticipate that each will give to their level of financial ability. The 100% participation of our CAVS families is to reach our goal of $75,000 which is an average of $500 per family. 100% participation demonstrates school community support and could mean the difference between funding a future project or not.
• The AVS annual campaign will launch in September at Back to School Nights and continue throughout the month of October when every family will be individually contacted and encouraged to participate and fill out a pledge form. Each classroom has a volunteer AVS Grade Level Chair and will be available to answer questions about AVS and pick up your pledge form.
• Did you know? While it may seem like tuition should cover all expenses, in the arena of private schools, it simply does not. Annual giving programs provide the wonderful extras that help enrich your child’s educational experience, as well as replenish reserves.
• Programs like AVS keep tuition costs low.

Carden Arbor View School is a kindergarten through eighth grade, private, non-sectarian school serving families of the Inland Valley. The Carden teaching method addresses the needs of the whole child—weaving an education designed to prepare children for life throughout the core academic curriculum. We place equal emphasis on the need for that education to be presented within a physical and spiritual context of high moral standards and values.
