$500,000 Goal



The Cambridge School of Dallas is celebrating 30 years of educating students in the Christian classical tradition and pursuing its mission of Academic Discipleship: fostering a love of learning with a passion for Jesus Christ. 

A Matching Challenge to Raise $1,000,000

As we mark this historic milestone, an anonymous donor who believes deeply in our mission has surprised us with a challenge to the entire community: a $500,000 dollar-for-dollar matching gift for North Texas Giving Day.

This matching gift comes at a critical time of strategic transition as we continue to add new students to our campus and finish construction of our gym. Extraordinary community efforts right now will pay off for decades to come.  Your giving directly bridges our operational costs during this campus transition, funding the core tenets of Academic Discipleship.

Every dollar you give between now and September 17 will be instantly doubled:

A Gift of $15,000 Becomes $30,000
Supporting a full year’s education for one of our many students receiving need-based tuition assistance.

A Gift of $1,500 Becomes $3,000
Ensuring three teachers have access to the technological tools that support their role as educators.

A Gift of $500 Becomes $1,000 
Affording a student’s books for the school year.

A Gift of $100 Becomes $200
The cost of a new microscope for our biology classes.


Cambridge serves approximately 120 students grades 5th through 12th, with a 6:1 student-to-faculty ratio. This is a significant differentiating factor of our school and allows for students to receive direct and personalized instruction. This is especially important for our classrooms, as instruction is centered not on simply learning or memorizing facts, but encouraging exploration, the development of critical thinking, and open dialogue. 

Cambridge instructors are master teachers. Over 80% hold PhDs or master's degrees in their areas of teaching. Our faculty is made up of scholars who are willing and committed to bringing their interest and expertise to the classroom and facilitating curiosity in their students. Small class size truly enables these master teachers to be highly engaged with students personally and academically, which is critical to the school's culture of encouraging thoughtful and challenging discussion.

Students complete their Cambridge education with an average of 6 AP courses. Highly selective universities accept Cambridge students every year.

Mission

The Cambridge School of Dallas is a Christ-centered, classical, college preparatory school committed to the mission of Academic Discipleship: Fostering a Love of Learning With a Passion for Jesus Christ. The aim is to equip students to know Christ with their minds, to love Him with their hearts, and to serve Him with their lives.

Needs

Our North Texas Giving Day campaign supports the Cambridge Annual Fund. This campaign is of vital importance to Cambridge's operational health, supporting every aspect of the school including faculty, athletics, financial aid, events, technology, arts, and more.

Cambridge, like all other independent schools, relies on an annual giving fund to support a percentage of its operating budget not covered by tuition. The fund is especially important during this period of transition to our new campus, when we are not yet at full enrollment while the costs of our move are already present.

By achieving our goals for North Texas Giving Day, we will place ourselves in an ideal position to seek the support we need to complete our Athletic Center and meet the enrollment objectives that will ensure the long-term health of the school. Join us today!
