Seeking Better Paths | Appeal Header Image

Moniti Meliora Sequamur. “Guided by each other; let us seek better paths.”
This motto permeates all aspects of School life for our community of students, faculty and staff. Your generosity is vital in supporting our students as they discover their own paths. Please consider joining generations of alumni, parents and friends, like those featured in the videos and testimonials below, with a gift to Hotchkiss.

The Hotchkiss Fund & Parents Fund

Your gifts to The Hotchkiss Fund and the Parents Fund are an investment in the School's students and teachers — and the impact they will have on their communities and the world. In addition to providing 11 percent of the operating budget, the Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and the cost of educating each student. The Fund also supports day-to-day operations, ongoing maintenance, and faculty development, among other high-priority needs. Follow this link to make a gift online.
