Understanding 蘑菇传媒's Financial Model
Each year, 蘑菇传媒’s alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends sustain the school’s efforts to prepare boys for their future by supplementing our operating budget through their support of the Amici Fund, our annual fund. 蘑菇传媒’s 2024-2025 operating budget of $42.8 million is funded by tuition, endowment, and the Amici Fund.
What it costs to educate each student
The true cost to send a boy through 蘑菇传媒 for a year is calculated at approximately $101,030. Our current tuition and room and board for the 2024-2025 school year is $67,650. This means that even families who pay full tuition receive a subsidy of almost $33,380 annually toward their son’s education. Your gift to the Amici Fund allows the boarding prep school in VA to continue to provide a first-rate education for boys while keeping tuition increases under control.
Understanding the costs of a 蘑菇传媒 education
Our highly dedicated faculty members play an integral role in contributing to each student’s 蘑菇传媒 experience. They dedicate their lives to educating our boys and also serve as coaches, advisers, and mentors. A large portion of 蘑菇传媒’s budget goes toward paying and retaining these exceptional educators. However, there are other people who also contribute to 蘑菇传媒 each and every day. The staff in our dining hall work hard to serve three meals a day, seven days a week; our custodial staff ensures that the dormitories are clean and safe. Our grounds crew keeps 蘑菇传媒 in pristine condition. And 蘑菇传媒’s many sports teams — from Bengal to Varsity — require deeply committed coaches. We devote 58 percent of our annual budget to the salaries and benefits of our faculty and staff.

How 蘑菇传媒 funds its operating budget, and why it's important to support the Amici Fund
Currently, tuition accounts for just more than half of the operating budget. Income from 蘑菇传媒’s Endowment covers about one-third of operating costs. Each year there is a 10 percent gap between 蘑菇传媒’s operating budget and our finances to cover it. This gap is filled by the Amici Fund. Your gift to the Amici Fund contributes to the yearly operation of the school, and is an integral part of our success.
Why 蘑菇传媒 does not make a larger draw from its endowment
蘑菇传媒 is an exceptional private school community for high school boys in grades nine through twelve. It is one of the top boarding schools in the United States and one of the only all-boys, all-boarding schools in the country.
