Giving to Roycemore

Thank you for your interest in supporting Roycemore. Since its inception in 1915, the faculty and administration of Roycemore have been absolutely committed to inspiring personal excellence and celebrating individuality by creating a nurturing, challenging environment for each and every student, from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12. However, our school, like every other independent school, college and university, recognizes that tuition and fees paid by enrolled students do not cover total costs.

Your financial support of Roycemore will provide critical funds to maintain its unique blend of small class size, individualized attention and wide range of educational opportunities and to secure the School’s future.

Roycemore's fundraising initiatives consist of four ongoing but separate programs:

• Buildng Roycemore's Future capital campaign
• Margin of Excellence annual fund
• Grand Auction - "We are Roycemore"
• Planned Giving - Rebecca Ashley Thatcher Society
