Giving

MKA is more than a school—it’s a community made stronger by families like yours. We are building a culture of philanthropy where every member of our community understands, values, and supports our school. This is critical because tuition alone doesn’t fully fund the MKA experience. Philanthropic support provides the essential resources to fund every student’s education. It fuels the exceptional faculty, innovative programs, financial assistance, and inclusive community that define an MKA education. When every family gives—no matter the amount—we strengthen our school and send a powerful message: we believe in MKA and in the future we’re building together.

Gifts to MKA help the school make choices rather than compromises. Your support is critical in the school's ability to deliver our mission and guide our students as individual learners on their unique journeys to becoming ethical beings, critical thinkers, honorable leaders, and responsible citizens. You and others provide important resources to offer this education to a diverse student body, help us recruit and retain excellent faculty, and provide the very best education to each of our students in a technology-rich, entrepreneurial environment.

MKA’s tuition aligns very closely with those of our peer schools, and we strive to limit our tuition increases to remain accessible to a broad range of families. The annual cost of operating MKA is over $40 million, but tuition revenue only supplies 92 percent of that budget. Because of the school's history of receiving philanthropic support from parents, alumni, and other friends, we rely on contributions to ensure that we are not dependent on tuition alone. Philanthropy helps fund each student’s education, even those who pay full tuition, and allows us to make improvements to our campuses, enhancements to programs, and invest in a robust financial assistance program.

Giving is a personal decision, but we ask you to make MKA an annual philanthropic priority and to make a gift that is meaningful to you. We know that everyone’s gift will be different, so please give what you can. We are grateful for every dollar you invest in our students.

Parents, students, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends give! Each member of our Board of Trustees makes a leadership level gift and supports our special projects and campaigns, and our faculty not only give their time in the classroom, but most also make a philanthropic gift to the school.
