Please Support Our Annual Fund
The Annual Fund Campaign is our primary opportunity for school families to participate in the continued success of our school by helping to bridge the gap left by state and local funding. This fund supports existing educational programs, new curriculum development, improves facilities, and supports essential needs of Socrates Academy.

Please fill out the form that was sent home with your scholar or fill out the
online form
with addresses of friends, family, or local businesses you support. Your scholars will write a personal letter, sharing with the recipients what they love about their school and then we will mail them.
We know it can be time consuming to look up all of those addresses, so we are offering 3 volunteer hours for every completed form that is turned in or filled out online.
Fill out the form online and submit electronically
