Community Investment

 What is the Community Investment campaign?

The essential priorities of Archway Chandler’s educational model cost more per-student than what we receive from the state.  Therefore, we ask our families to contribute to the annual Community Investment campaign and help make up that difference.

What does it support?

Family support through the Community Investment campaign allows the leadership of Archway Chandler to run the school day-to-day, and to hold fast to our mission as we plan and grow. It ensures that:

• Our class sizes stay small with two teachers in each core classroom
  
• The arts are kept as an integral part of our curriculum: choral music, studio art, and foreign language
• We are able to reward and retain the very best faculty

The result is that our teachers instruct far fewer students than the district average, are better able to prepare for their lessons, and have more time for communication with parents. Our students receive more meaningful assignments, daily feedback, and the opportunity for one-on-one tutoring. These are essentials you will not find at a district school. These are the essentials that set Archway Chandler apart.

How do families participate?

We ask each family to contribute $1,200 to help cover the per-student gap between what we need for our academic model and what we receive from the state. Knowing that every family's financial situation is different, we encourage families to give as they are able. Many families choose to spread out their contribution by making monthly gifts over the course of the school year.  Other families make a one-time gift to the Community Investment campaign. Every family’s participation, at whatever level, is vital to supporting the priorities of Archway Chandler.

Public School Tax Credit

What is the Tax Credit drive?

The Arizona Public School Tax Credit is a unique state program that allows Arizona taxpayers to contribute to our extra-curricular programs and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state taxes. Married couples can donate up to $400 and single filers can donate up to $200 and receive the full credit from their state tax liability.

What does it support?

Tax Credit contributions support the extra-curricular programs at Archway Chandler. Community support through successful Tax Credit drives at Archway Chandler ensures that we are able to provide a vibrant extra-curricular program for our  students.

Who can participate?

Every family can take advantage of the Arizona Public School Tax Credit and support Archway Chandler. Many families chose to contribute in November and December, but any Tax Credit contribution made in the 2013 calendar year will receive the dollar-for dollar credit. Any Arizona taxpayer is eligible to take the credit. We ask every family to donate their Tax Credit to Archway Chandler and invite their extended network of friends and family to do the same.
