Foothills School is a vibrant learning community - made even more so by the incredible support of volunteers, financial supporters, and friends in the Treasure Valley who spread the word about our great school!
The Case for Financial Support
Foothills School is the Treasure Valley's oldest independent school, and has consistently been a community that responds to the unique needs of learners while helping every student reach their highest potential.
From its inception, Foothills School has worked hard to provide affordable, quality education in the Boise community. We are proud of being fiscally responsible, and manage the resources of our learning community with best practices that assure that every tuition dollar and every donor dollar is used wisely and advances the school's mission. The school is debt-free and works every year to generate income through tuition and fundraising to attract the highest-quality faculty and staff, create and implement innovative programs, and take advantage of the rich resources of our downtown and Cultural District location.
Foothills School relies on the generosity of its donors, families and granting agencies to provide the educational program of the school. Tuition covers just under 80% of the cost of a Foothills education.
