Endowment

In 2025, the Board of Trustees made a pivotal strategic decision: to seed a true endowment fund from a portion of the school’s reserves. This initiative will provide CDS with the resources to expand teacher excellence and financial aid programs, alleviate pressure on the operating budget to maintain reasonable and competitive tuition, and ensure the school's long-term financial sustainability. In June of the same year, CDS proudly received its first endowment gift, establishing the annual Faculty and Staff Excellence Award in perpetuity. Named fund opportunities are available for those wishing to create a lasting legacy.
