Nantucket New School
Giving to the Nantucket New School
Gifts to the Nantucket New School’s Annual Appeal and special events raise a significant portion of the Nantucket New School’s operating budget. Simply put, it is because of the generosity of our donors that we are able to offer an outstanding education to our students. Annual donations help to pay our teachers’ salaries, fill the classroom with books and supplies, fund field trips on and off the island, and enrich our students’ day with art and music instruction.

A primary goal for NNS is to keep the school’s tuition as low as possible, thereby attracting a student body that reflects the diversity of our island community. In order to achieve the goal, the development office has selected a number of ways for our families and friends to give.


Each year, we host several special events including the Harvest Bash in November and a Dinner Auction in August. We are the beneficiaries of the Nantucket Wine Festival Raffle in May. In addition, throughout the year we work to raise funds for the Annual Appeal. Please consider making an Online gift to the Nantucket New School.

NNS is also in the midst of the final phase of the Building Futures Capital Campaign. To date we have successfully built the School's campus at 15 Nobadeer Farm Road and we are currently working to raise money to leave the school free of debt and with an endowment in place.
