The Birch Wathen Lenox School is a place where excellence and innovation combine in a responsive environment where every student's voice matters. Children and young adults thrive while learning all aspects of a rigorous academic curriculum at a school that combines traditions with modern technology. None of this would be possible without your support through the Lion Fund, the Annual Benefit, and Planned Giving. Click the buttons below to learn more and to support BWL.
Give to the the BWL Lion Fund!
As at all other independent schools, tuition does not fully cover the cost of educating our students. Your support makes the difference. It provides opportunities for our students to explore and grow in academics, athletics, arts, and more. It helps give faculty and staff the tools they need to provide an excellent, rigorous education with the whole child in mind.
The Lion Fund runs from July 1–June 30 annually, and all donations are tax deductible. Funds raised support all aspects of the current school year, from curricular supplies to faculty salaries to financial aid. We encourage you to make a gift at a level that is meaningful to you; your gift will make a difference!
