A Community of Generosity

At TVT, education is more than what happens in the classroom. It is built through meaningful relationships, inspiring teachers, joyful experiences, and a community united by shared values. Philanthropy helps make these opportunities possible, strengthening today's students while investing in generations to come.

Make Your Gift. Make Your Impact.

Why Support TVT?

TVT has always been more than a school. It is a community where students are known, challenged, and supported as they grow in knowledge, character, and Jewish identity.

Tuition does not fully fund the cost of educating a TVT student, and philanthropic contributions ensure we have the resources to fuel our educational vision and goals. The TVT Fund is our most important annual priority as it provides resources needed for the academic year that are not covered by tuition alone. Your gifts help bridge the gap between tuition and the full TVT experience, ensuring innovation, excellence, and opportunity thrive on our campus. Your gifts are put to immediate use to benefit our students and teachers, and provide us with agility and flexibility to meet unexpected needs and opportunities.

In short, philanthropic support helps enrich the experiences that make that education exceptional, from innovative learning opportunities and outstanding educators to financial assistance, Jewish life, and the continued growth of our campus

Together, our community ensures that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

The story of TVT has always been written in partnership with generous, forward-thinking supporters. Your investment carries us into our next chapter. Thank you for your partnership, your shared vision, and your commitment to TVT.
Jill Quigley, Head of School

Stories of Philanthropy

"TVT is so meaningful to me as it’s been a constant throughout the many different chapters of my life. It was where I learned, grew, and built lifelong friendships as a student, and now I have the privilege of watching my daughter create her own experiences here. For us, supporting TVT is about investing in something we truly believe in, and it’s incredibly rewarding to play a small part in ensuring TVT continues to thrive for generations to come. "
Jessica Sukert Campbell, alumna and current parent

"We believe that when you find an institution making a lasting difference, you have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to help it thrive. Supporting TVT is an investment in our children, in future generations of students, and in a community that shares our values."
Jessica Anvar Stotz and Eric Stotz, current parents

"The TVT faculty is truly special. Whether playing chess with the students after school, cheering them on at their sports games, chaperoning local and international trips, or calling them at home to offer words of encouragement, the teachers have formed lasting bonds with our children. Furthermore, the Torah education our children received ensures they can walk into any synagogue in the world and participate in the service and feel at home."
Carl and Christine Groner, alumni parents

"Our inspiration comes from the students. They represent the future, and we believe that investing in their education is one of the most meaningful ways to strengthen our community and create a lasting impact. We want to help ensure that current and future students have access to the same exceptional opportunities and supportive environment that our daughter enjoys every day."
Elisa and Edwards Tian, current parents
