It reflects the partnership between families and the school, ensuring we can continue to foster a thriving and supportive community where every student can succeed.

Your enrollment at SHC is considered confirmed when your completed registration forms are submitted via TADS and your Parent Pledge Program form is completed via SHC’s Salesforce Communities page.

FAQs

Participation in the Parent Pledge Program is expected for all current families, and you must complete the enrollment form for the program to complete your child’s registration.

SHC families are expected to contribute to the Parent Pledge Program with a four-year contribution of $1,750 per year, per child. Families with the financial capacity are invited to give more with suggested giving levels of $2,500, $3,500 or $5,000 annually. 

Contributions to the Parent Pledge Program are tax-deductible.

Nearly 100 percent of our current parents participate in the Parent Pledge Program, showcasing their dedication to our school community. Achieving high participation from families strengthens our ability to secure additional funding through grants, as it reflects an engaged and committed parent body. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference!

While raising tuition may seem like a sensible option, there are several reasons SHC prefers the Parent Pledge Program. First and foremost, we honor our mission when we are able to keep tuition down. Paired with a robust financial assistance program, keeping tuition rates leveled allows families from all walks of life to afford an SHC education. Unlike tuition, your contribution to the Parent Pledge Program is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by state and federal law, and a wonderful benefit to the program.

Families who give at the $2,500 or $3,500 level will receive an SHC Premium Pass, which allows for two complimentary tickets to home athletic games and visual and performing arts performances. Families that give at the $5,000 level will receive an SHC Premium Pass and invitations to select events throughout the year.

We strongly encourage the families with the financial capacity to participate at these levels and enjoy the increased impact they will have on the quality of education at SHC.

While we realize that sending multiple children to SHC constitutes a major financial commitment, the cost to educate your child remains the same no matter how many children are attending SHC. Therefore, families are expected to make a four-year pledge on behalf of each child enrolled at SHC.

Yes. However, this arrangement must be completed prior to the registration deadline by contacting advancement@shcp.edu.

First, visit TADS to complete your enrollment forms, including your tuition payment schedule. Your Parent Pledge deductions will align with the tuition payment schedule you select.

Then, visit SHC’s Salesforce Communities page to complete your pledge form. You must complete both of these steps before your SHC enrollment is considered final.

If at any point in the future you change your payment schedule or account information in TADS related to your tuition payments, you must also notify the Advancement Office to change your pledge information as the two systems are updated separately.

Some families can amplify their support for SHC students through corporate matching programs. Check with your employer to see if they can match your contribution to the Parent Pledge Program and double your impact. For more information, please contact the Office of Advancement at advancement@shcp.edu or visit our Corporate Matching webpage at https://www.shcp.edu/giveshc/corporate-matching for more information. 

Parent involvement is integral to the SHC educational experience, and we are honored to partner with parents to ensure student success. The Parent Pledge Program cannot be fulfilled with volunteer hours.
