Every gift makes the school possible.

Tuition covers roughly eighty-two cents of every dollar BPD Academy spends on a student. The remaining eighteen cents, covering faculty salaries, financial aid, the Capstone Program, and the Arts & Innovation Center, comes from gifts from families, alumni, and friends of the school.

FROM THE BUILDER OF THIS DEMO

Want a site like this for your school?

I built every page, the CMS, and the database you just used, and I can have your school’s own version live in 4–6 weeks, for a fraction of what you pay Finalsite or Blackbaud. No templates, you own the site, on a simple monthly to host and look after it.
