Building a Bridge to Sustainability
for Mater Dei Classical Hybrid Academy
Help us raise $50,000 by March 31, 2027
Mater Dei Classical Hybrid Academy began its inaugural year with an encouraging community of students and families who believe in the value of faithful Catholic formation, classical learning, and meaningful partnership between parents and educators.
Although our first-year enrollment is promising, tuition revenue has not yet reached the level necessary to cover the full cost of operating the academy. We have therefore launched Building a Bridge to Sustainability for Mater Dei Classical Hybrid Academy, a campaign to raise $50,000 by March 31, 2027.
Your gift will help Mater Dei complete its founding year faithfully, preserve the quality and continuity of its academic program, fulfill its commitments to students, families, and instructors, and provide the runway needed to grow enrollment toward long-term financial sustainability.
Why Your Support Matters
Like many new educational organizations, Mater Dei must carry significant operating costs before enrollment reaches a sustainable level. These costs include instructional personnel, facilities, curriculum, insurance, technology, and other essential expenses required to serve our students well.
This campaign is not simply about meeting current expenses. It is about giving Mater Dei the time and stability necessary to become a lasting Catholic classical educational resource for families in our community.
Your generosity will help us:
- Maintain the quality and continuity of our current academic program.
- Support the instructors and staff who serve our students and families.
- Meet essential facility, curriculum, insurance, and operating expenses.
- Continue introducing Mater Dei to families seeking a Catholic classical educational option.
- Grow enrollment toward a financially sustainable level for future academic years.
Every gift helps us move closer to a stable and enduring future.
