Bank Street's mission to improve the education of children and their teachers by applying to the educational process all available knowledge about learning and growth, and by connecting teaching and learning meaningfully to the outside world requires both financial and intellectual commitment. While Bank Street School for Children articulates its values, it also, more importantly, seeks to put them into everyday practice by improving teacher compensation and development, by providing greater and more flexible financial aid to ensure a diverse community of learners, and by meeting the individual needs of children and families. Your help is an essential ingredient in Bank Street School's success in nurturing children and supporting talented teachers. By supporting the School's programs through your annual gift, you can influence the impact and kind of change through education that will lead to a better world.
Your annual gift directly benefits children in the School who are learning how to learn, as well as learning about each other, the community in which they live, and the world around them. In this process, they discover the power of self-expression and inquiry because they become members of a learning community that supports and respects their natural curiosity and individuality. This educational community is strengthened by the diversity of its faculty and students. Every contribution, regardless of the size, helps Bank Street maintain, practice and articulate its educational values every day in the School for Children.
