2024-25 TBS Fund Campaign

Invest In Our Future

Thank You

We’re deeply grateful to the families, trustees, faculty and staff, grandfriends, VIPs, and community friends who have already made generous and meaningful contributions to The TBS Fund. These gifts towards our 100% participation & $160,000 goals help sustain and strengthen every part of the student experience—supporting academic programs, professional development for teachers, campus upkeep (a historical landmark and a Certified Wildlife Habitat!), Individual Family Tuition and so much more.

Did You Know?

This year, TBS has committed $880,000 to fund Individual Family Tuition, which enables us to offer tuition plans ranging from 94% to 8% of the top 2024-25 tuition rate. As a result, we are able to expand access to a TBS education for as many families as possible.

Every Gift Matters

When we come together as a community, we ensure that current and future students benefit from a joyful, inclusive, rigorous education that ignites curious minds, awakens generous hearts, and prepares young people to engage a changing world.

Norman Johnson Fund For The Arts

The Norman Johnson Fund For the Arts (NJFA) helps bring creativity to life across both TBS campuses—funding our vibrant visual arts and music programs, the Visiting Artists series, partnerships with local arts organizations, field trips, performances, and more.

Did you know?

Now in its third year, this fund was created to honor the legacy of The Berkeley School’s beloved longtime Drama teacher, Norman Johnson, who sparked a love of artistic exploration in generations of students.

With a $20,000 goal this year, your gift builds on the strength of our already vibrant arts program—expanding access to transformative creative opportunities that spark curiosity, inspire expression, and foster connection from preschool through 8th grade. It’s one more way we ignite curious minds, awaken generous hearts, and prepare students to engage a changing world.

Why IFT Matters

Individual Family Tuition

Direct Benefits

Through the Individual Family Tuition model, every gift contributes directly to enhancing each child’s academic journey and social-emotional growth, allowing us to offer an exceptional TBS education to all families.

Your support helps ensure that our mission thrives, making a lasting impact on our students, our programs, and our community as a whole.

Driving Positive Change Together

Expanding access increases the breadth and depth of learning styles, identities, and lived experiences in our classroom communities. That breadth and depth ensures that all students develop the skills necessary to engage a changing world as empathetic, empowered human beings.
