Bridging the Gap with One of Our Biggest Fundraisers of The Year
Diener is such an inclusive, welcoming, and tight-knit community and they believe that ALL students, no matter their race, gender, learning style, or ability could succeed and do well.

Our Mission
We have so much to celebrate at The Diener School, especially our students thriving in our beautiful new campus. As we reflect on the past year, we want to highlight the importance of our Annual Fund, which is essential for sustaining the school and bridging the gap between tuition and the true cost of education.
This year, we aim to raise $120,000, with any extra funds going toward our Capital Campaign.
