The BT Fund is our school’s most important source of annual support, providing immediate resources that directly benefit students during the current year. As an independent school, we operate without government or religious funding and while tuition provides a strong foundation for our school’s operations, it does not fully cover the cost of delivering the outstanding education students receive. Educating each student at BT costs $4,500 above what they pay in tuition.
When you give to The BT Fund:
- You allow the school to enroll the most promising students, regardless of their family’s finances.
- You help the school maintain the spaces where we learn, compete, perform, grow, and lead.
- You help the school attract and retain the most talented faculty and staff.
More than financial support, The BT Fund is a shared investment in the experiences that make BT extraordinary. The BT Fund provides the additional investment needed to inspire students to reach their fullest potential.
More Gingerbread for BT!
On December 11, the BT community came together for the second annual Gingerbread for BT, a festive celebration of generosity supporting The BT Fund. The day brought holiday spirit to campus as students, faculty, staff, and parents donned their favorite holiday attire, competed in gingerbread house decorating contests, enjoyed gingerbread-inspired activities, and savored fresh gingerbread cookies courtesy of Flik, our dining services team.
The sweetest result of all: during Gingerbread for BT, our generous community contributed 150 donations totaling $78,580 for BT!
Watching our community come together for Gingerbread for BT was truly heartwarming: from the parents who volunteered throughout the day, to grandparents who made gifts in honor of their “smart cookies,” to families who made BT their giving priority this holiday season. Every contribution made a difference.
Thank You to This Year's BT Fund Chairs!
