Why is The Berwick Fund necessary?

Berwick Academy is an independent school, therefore, it does not receive any state or federal funding. The School relies entirely on tuition dollars, draw from the School’s endowment, and charitable donations from the community to educate our students and provide the incredible faculty and programs that make Berwick so great. Additionally, and true to most independent schools, tuition does not cover entire cost of educating our students, hence the need for additional philanthropic support. Every Berwick student is subsidized by at least $2,500 through charitable contributions to the School, regardless of any financial aid received.
