Fund the Gap: Wildwood School is committed to keeping tuition accessible, but tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Wildwood education. In 2025–2026, families contribute $95 per student per day, while the true cost is $103 per day. This gap represents our vital resources—faculty compensation and retention, programming development and supplies, continued teacher education, and enriched learning. With your support, we can bridge this gap and ensure every student continues to benefit from the education our founders envisioned.

Retain and Recruit Top Teachers: Our teachers are the heart of the Wildwood experience, and we highly value our educators. We also understand the unique challenges to living in the Roaring Fork Valley in 2025. To retain current teachers and attract top talent, it is essential to pay a wage in line with cost of living in our community. Wildwood’s leadership understands that it is paramount that we provide competitive salaries and benefits. While we feel that keeping tuition affordable is a priority, ensuring our teachers receive a fair, livable wage is equally important. Optimizing teacher compensation packages is a key goal of The Wildwood Fund.

Renovate and Upgrade the Wildwood Campus: Wildwood’s campus provides a magical learning environment for all of our children. Over the next few years, we need to renovate and upgrade our classroom spaces, our roof, our kitchens, our bathrooms and more. We also would like to build new classroom sheds for storage. These capital improvements will require additional funding, making them a key focus for The Wildwood Fund moving forward.
