From the Chair: Julie Carey

Dear Epiphany Community,

First, I am honored to be the new Chair of the Epiphany Foundation. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for all you’ve done to support the Epiphany community. Your generosity and care make an enormous difference, and I look forward to all we’ll accomplish together as we help Epiphany continue to grow and thrive.

I am excited to welcome you to the 2023-2024 Annual Review—now in a fresh, more flexible online format, making it easier than ever to scroll through a snapshot of what your generosity has made possible. We hope you enjoy this streamlined look at a year filled with continued growth and gratitude.

This digital approach allows us to share updates with more accessibility and sustainability moving forward. It’s quick to read, easy to share, and reflects the thoughtful stewardship we aim to model in all areas—including how we communicate.

As always, the Foundation remains committed to fueling the growth and long-term excellence of the school and the community we all love. Thank you for being such an important part of it. Please keep an eye out for the 2024-2025 Annual Review coming later this year!

With gratitude,

Julie Carey

Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Highlights

The Epiphany School Foundation works hand in hand with the school community to uphold a mission of academic excellence, spiritual growth, and inclusivity. By bridging the gap between tuition and the true cost of education, the Foundation ensures access to exceptional resources and a nurturing environment. Through events and generous support, it fosters connection among families, alumni, and friends in service of Epiphany’s enduring values.

An Investment in Our Future

Faculty development remains a cornerstone of the Foundation’s mission, empowering our educators to grow professionally and bring fresh insight into the classroom. With over 70% of head teachers holding advanced degrees, continued investment in training, workshops, and certification ensures that our faculty stays at the forefront of educational excellence. This ongoing support enriches the learning experience for every student and reinforces our commitment to a dynamic, forward-thinking academic environment.

"The Epiphany School Foundation provides our school with the financial flexibility necessary to ensure Epiphany's students and staff have continuous opportunities to learn and grow. Receiving the National Blue Ribbon School Award serves as proof positive that the dual efforts of The Foundation and School result in academic success"

The Epiphany School Foundation

The Epiphany School Foundation was established in 1999 to raise funds for the School. The tax-exempt, charitable foundation was created to enhance the educational experience and the faculty’s teaching environment. These goals have been achieved over the years by funding programs that the School cannot cover through tuition alone. The Foundation remains dedicated to promoting growth and innovation through these programs.
