Annual Fund
As a non-profit organization, ZIS relies on fundraising for educational enhancements and to create our unique "ZIS Experience." The Annual Fund is the school’s primary fundraiser. It has an immediate impact on students and teachers by funding programs and improvements that go above and beyond what tuition provides.
For more information about the Annual Fund, please read our frequently asked questions or contact ZIS Head of Development Jenny Wyss.
2018/19 STEAM Training Focus
As the yearly appeal to all members of the ZIS community, the Annual Fund supports strategic projects that enhance educational excellence for current students. Evidence of our community's generosity can be seen with plaques around school, commemorating many past fundraising projects.
This year's Annual Fund projects focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) on each campus. The Annual Fund is building on last year’s support of STEAM equipment and resources, for example, by funding training for students and faculty in robotics, programming, and Maker activities, both within the curriculum and outside the classroom. There will also be the opportunity to develop parent learning in these areas through special family sessions. The Annual Fund is working closely with the new STEAM coordinator at ZIS, who will grow and organize these activities across campuses.
