FROM THE CHIEF FINANCIAL & OPERATING OFFICER CHRISTINE KOIDIN
Sustaining Our Vision Responsibly Alta Vista School continues to inspire and nurture the creativity and curiosity of our students! During my first year at the school, I was constantly wowed by the heightened levels of inquiry and innovative approaches sought by our students. I witnessed the school thrive in its dynamic and ever-changing educational environment while balancing a commitment to financial sustainability by exhibiting thoughtful and prudent expense management. Nearing 75%, our personnel costs continue to be the largest portion of our expenses. We are grateful for our dedicated faculty and staff and the wonderful learning spaces they provide for our students. While most of our operating support comes from our tuition and program fees, the generosity of our community continues to be an important component of bridging the gap between tuition and funding the full cost of educating each student. Gifts to the Annual Fund surpassed the $1 million (!) milestone. We are grateful for our parents, alumni, and friends for their steadfast commitment to the operations of the school. As we continue to build our future we remain committed to empowering our educators, connecting our community, and supporting the whole child education that is core to AVS!
