Help Students Rediscover the joy of learning

Your gift helps advance our mission of teaching children with learning differences how to learn, be independent, and be successful!

Your gift will support:

Small Class Sizes &  Personalized Instruction

Support keeps class sizes small and allows our teachers to tailor lessons, student groupings, and pacing so every student is supported at the right level.

Learning Designed for How Our Students Learn

Annual Fund gifts uphold de Paul’s specialized academic program grounded in the Science of Learning, where structured, multisensory instruction is not an accommodation, but the foundation of how we teach every day.

Expert Teaching &  Professional Development 

Gifts help ensure teachers continue receiving 100+ hours of specialized training each year so instruction stays research-driven, responsive, and joyful.

Social & Emotional Learning  & Student Confidence 

Contributions strengthen daily SEL practices that help students build confidence, resilience, self-advocacy, and healthy relationships.

Vibrant Campus Life &  Enrichment Experiences

Gifts fund the arts, electives, clubs, athletics, and traditions that help students discover interests, friendships, and joy in belonging.

Safe & Supportive Learning Environments

Gifts maintain calm, structured, sensory-friendly classrooms and resources that help students feel safe, focused, and ready to learn.

Giver Spotlight

We are incredibly grateful for sponsors like Kosair for Kids for their invaluable support of our school and faculty. Thank you for ensuring that children with learning differences in our community can experience “The Joy of Learning!”

Thanks to the generous donations from the Crusade for Children and the Gheens Foundation our we were able to build a new playground for our students. These funds have also allowed us to break ground on extensive renovations to our Early Elementary Wing.

We are so grateful to hundreds of donors who annually support The de Paul School. Because of your generosity and belief in the transformative power of de Paul, we are able to award nearly $400,000 in tuition assistance each school year. Without your kindness, these deserving children would simply not be able to enroll in our school.

“The reason I give to The de Paul School is for one reason only is because I know the true value of this school. I know and remember what it was like to be in the shoes of these kids here at The de Paul School. I was one of them back in the day and if it was not for the great teacher I had Mrs. Allen, Ms. Zicks, Mrs. Step and Mr. Howell for their great teaching experience I’m honestly not sure where I would be. I give because I was other to have the same and better experience than me. That is why I give!
