At Helios School, we strive to be a beacon for gifted education in the Bay Area, but our greatest strength lies in the potential of our students. The Helios Fund allows us to nurture that potential by providing an intellectually stimulating, creatively enriching, and supportive learning environment.
Tuition alone can't cover the full cost of this exceptional experience. Your gift to the Helios Fund helps bridge that gap, ensuring we can continue to offer:
Thriving Curriculum: We continuously refine our learning expeditions, develop new investigations and explorations, and fund field work that take learning beyond the classroom walls.
Vibrant Learning Spaces: From maintaining our unique camping equipment to ensuring classrooms are brimming with engaging supplies, your contribution keeps our classroom and outdoor classroom environments thriving as spaces where curiosity and exploration come alive.
Inclusive Excellence: We believe a diverse student body strengthens our entire community. The Helios Fund helps keep Helios accessible to a wider range of families, fostering a vibrant mix of perspectives.
Empowered Educators: Your generosity allows us to invest in ongoing professional development for our teachers. This ensures they have the knowledge and skills to empower our gifted and unique students academically, socially, and emotionally.
By giving to the Helios Fund, you're not just supporting a school; you're investing in the future – the bright future of our exceptional students.
