Support Pear Tree
Invest in education that transforms.
At Pear Tree, 80% of our families receive financial aid because we believe every child deserves a liberatory education — regardless of what their family can pay. Tuition alone covers only a fraction of what it costs to deliver our Montessori, social justice, and nature-based curriculum. Your gift directly bridges the gap between what families can pay and what it costs to educate each child.
When you give to Pear Tree, you are making it possible for a child to stay.
