HOW THE LEF CONTRIBUTES TO THE LADUE SCHOOL DISTRICT
The LEF advances the educational success of all students, in all grades, with all ability levels. As a result, the efforts of the LEF support the Ladue School District's vision: "Together, we will empower every student to become a passionate learner and achieve his or her highest potential."
WHY LEF FUNDING IS UNIQUE AND ESSENTIAL
The Ladue School District will always continue to fund state educational requirements. In addition, the district goes beyond these requirements to meet standards set forth by the district's strategic plan. However, budget realities limit the district’s ability to fund or pilot every program that holds promise. Similarly, the parent organizations of individual school buildings play a valuable role in providing additional resources to students and staff. However, their focus is on the practical needs of their building, not on the advancement of education in the district as a whole.
Since 2006, the Ladue Education Foundation (LEF) has supported the Ladue School District to Go Above and Beyond for All Students, ensuring access to innovative programs, opportunities, materials, and facilities beyond the district’s budget.
Our mission is to advance the excellence of the Ladue School District and enhance its legacy by expanding opportunities for student success. We join philanthropy with public education to bring together a community, provide world-class academic and enrichment programs, and promote connections for Ladue Schools alumni.
The Ladue Education Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
