We continue to be impressed by St. John’s Episcopal School of Dallas, as we feel the St. John’s community is unparalleled. Upon moving to Dallas, we were in search of a school that would offer strong academic credentials, religious instruction, and an environment that would foster self-confidence, care and compassion. We quickly found St. John’s to be a place that encouraged our children to discover their greatest potential by promoting curious exploration, creating academic and spiritual challenges, and offering positive reinforcement.
As St. John’s annual operating budget exceeds the amount of money collected from tuition each year, this campaign is necessary to satisfy the school’s budgetary obligations and enables the teachers and staff to continue providing our children with the education they deserve. We, therefore, strongly support the St. John’s Fund and encourage each family to join in support of this campaign.

About the Fund - Investing in our Lions' Futures
The St. John's Fund is the School’s largest annual fundraiser that allows our School to fulfill its mission of creating programs of academic excellence designed to train the mind, strengthen the character, and enrich the spirit of each student in a Christian environment. As an essential part to making our students’ experiences unforgettable each year, the St. John’s Fund helps to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of providing the full St. John’s experience. With tuition covering only 82% of the annual operating budget, (see charts) we count on our families and friends to make possible the resources needed to capture every student’s imagination and foster an environment for well-rounded, confident learners.
Annual participation is important and represents the strength of our community and our School. Our goal is to reach 100% participation from our great community.
