Supporting GSB
At GSB, tuition is intentionally set lower than the average private school cost in NYC. We believe quality education in language and global skills should be accessible to all. Donations are therefore paramount to help cover the true cost of tuition for each student.
Thank you to all who contribute in any way to support us!
The Annual Appeal
We ask every member of our community to contribute to the Annual Appeal. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.
The Annual Appeal aims to cover the financial gap to keep our general tuition low and accessible to more students.
Donations are allocated to support essential resources that enhance our school, including teacher training, academic programs, classroom upgrades, and technology.
Gifts in kind
Our community thrives on the involvement of parents, alumni, and friends.
Whether you're baking a pretzel for our Fall Octoberfest, working a station during the Spring Fling, joining a parents’ sport team, or helping with admissions, there are many ways to contribute your time and talents.
