Our Model
We are excited to start the year with a $100,000 grant from The Ahmanson Foundation. This was awarded due to the prior year’s generous participation of our families in our annual fund efforts, as a proof point that our community cares deeply about our experiential learning.

Maximize your return on principles:
Your tuition covers most of what makes Sequoyah possible—about 80% of our annual budget. But it's philanthropy—your giving—that enables us to go further: nurturing programs, supporting socioeconomic diversity, and fueling the innovation that makes Sequoyah magical for every learner.
Annual giving is about closing a gap—and it’s about opening doors. It’s what we do.
Invest in Equity: A $1,000 gift returns ~$1,250 in program value thanks to matching foundations and shared resources—ROI any investor would envy.

I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with artists like Coldplay, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lindsey Stirling, and Norman Reedus on social impact projects. But it was Sequoyah that gave me the roots—and the courage—to live a creative, purpose-driven life.”

“
I wasn’t scared to network with people who are more powerful than I am. That came from the Social Innovation Program building me up. A Sequoyah education is very holistic.”
—Selena Yang,
PhD in astrophysics at Cornell University
“
In 1958, Sequoyah’s founders dared to imagine a progressive school that would help shape a better world. Today, that bold vision lives on in a vibrant K–12 community where exceptional educators nurture each student’s academic, social, and emotional growth. At the heart of it all is a lasting commitment to inclusion and socioeconomic diversity. Your support ensures this vision continues to thrive—for the students of today and the generations to come.”

Sequoyah BOT Chair
“
What happens at Sequoyah isn’t transactional—it’s transformational. Our students grow not just through rigorous academics, but through deep connection, emotional engagement, and the belief that they belong and that others should too. They learn to lead with empathy, to think across differences, and to pursue what matters—with curiosity, courage, and care. When you give to Sequoyah, you’re investing in a generation that doesn’t just succeed in the world—they shape it for the better.”
—Rebecca Hong,
Head of School
“
Sequoyah is a special place. At its simplest, it’s a great education with unimpeachable human values. But more than that, it’s a framework for being in community with others, for elevating the best of yourself, and for navigating complexity in an increasingly complex world. To me, this feels like a future worth investing in—for my own family and for the world we want to build. That’s why I give to Sequoyah.”

I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with artists like Coldplay, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lindsey Stirling, and Norman Reedus on social impact projects. But it was Sequoyah that gave me the roots—and the courage—to live a creative, purpose-driven life.”
—Daniel Lir,
Almuni ‘87
“
I wasn’t scared to network with people who are more powerful than I am. That came from the Social Innovation Program building me up. A Sequoyah education is very holistic.”
—Selena Yang,
PhD in astrophysics at Cornell University
“
In 1958, Sequoyah’s founders dared to imagine a progressive school that would help shape a better world. Today, that bold vision lives on in a vibrant K–12 community where exceptional educators nurture each student’s academic, social, and emotional growth. At the heart of it all is a lasting commitment to inclusion and socioeconomic diversity. Your support ensures this vision continues to thrive—for the students of today and the generations to come.”

“
What happens at Sequoyah isn’t transactional—it’s transformational. Our students grow not just through rigorous academics, but through deep connection, emotional engagement, and the belief that they belong and that others should too. They learn to lead with empathy, to think across differences, and to pursue what matters—with curiosity, courage, and care. When you give to Sequoyah, you’re investing in a generation that doesn’t just succeed in the world—they shape it for the better.”
—Rebecca Hong,
Head of School
“
Sequoyah is a special place. At its simplest, it’s a great education with unimpeachable human values. But more than that, it’s a framework for being in community with others, for elevating the best of yourself, and for navigating complexity in an increasingly complex world. To me, this feels like a future worth investing in—for my own family and for the world we want to build. That’s why I give to Sequoyah.”

education forward.
Every reason for giving is different—and deeply personal. Maybe you remember the joy of a breakthrough moment, witnessed your child grow in unexpected ways, or simply believe the world needs more of what Sequoyah offers. When you support Sequoyah, you're not just giving—you're joining thousands of others who believe in learning that transforms.
