At Sterling, generosity is at the heart of our community. Every gift—large or small—helps nurture our students, support our teachers, and strengthen our programs. Whether you give time, talent, or treasure, your contribution fuels the future of Sterling. 

Charter schools like Sterling receive only approximately 64% of the funding of traditional public schools—and no state support for facilities. Your donations help bridge this gap, maintain our campus, and fund the innovative Montessori experiences or infrastructure that set Sterling apart. Read more here.

The Sterling Treasure Chest is our annual fund supporting everything from classroom materials and professional development to community events and major capital projects like our Outdoor Learning Environment upgrades.

Help us keep filling the Treasure Chest!

We officially launched Phase I of our Outdoor Learning Environment improvement project! Our engineering partner, American Engineering, joined us on campus for a site visit to begin shaping the future of our outdoor spaces. From here, they will work on recommended playground structures, necessary permits, and a vision board for the area between our B and C buildings, serving our Lower Elementary and Early Childhood students.

This project is part of our multi-phase, multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitment to transforming Sterling’s outdoor environments into natural, innovative spaces that reflect Montessori principles and inspire all children through exploration, creativity, and connection to nature.

Phase I is made possible thanks to funds collected from previous years of community giving—thank you! But this is just the beginning. To continue this work, we rely on the generosity and commitment of our community.
