| The Case for Annual Support |
"Why does Deerfield need my support every year?"
In a labor intensive industry such as education, where student-to-teacher ratios are a
competitive advantage, there are significant costs associated with having the best people
working at Deerfield. People are Deerfield's greatest asset - and its greatest expense.
In FY2009, salaries and benefits for faculty and staff will make up approximately 55% of
the entire $47 million budget. |
 |
| Simply put, quality is expensive. Deerfield strives to offer its
students programs, experiences and a curriculum that is unparalleled - and doing that costs money.
We look to our alumni, parents and friends to help offset the costs associated with the
high-quality education that Deerfield provides. Competitive faculty salaries, exceptional
arts and athletics resources and a substantial financial aid program are made possible thanks
to your support year after year. |
