Endowment
As of June 2022, Langley's endowment was valued at $10 million. The various funds that make up the endowment have been established by parents, alumni, and friends to operate in perpetuity and allow the school to meet and adapt to the needs of our students and programs.
With endowment, the principal of the fund is preserved and income generated through careful investment can be directed to the school’s budget each year. The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment and spending policies of the endowment.
While some funds are restricted for a specific use, such as financial aid and professional development for faculty, the unrestricted endowment provides budgetary support for all areas of the school, including faculty salaries and benefits, the arts, instructional services, athletics, and more.
Many of our funds have been established in tribute to a family member, faculty member, or for the general support of Langley. Click here to see the full list.
Dr. Elinor Scully Scholars Fund
Aligned with Dr. Elinor Scully’s deep belief that there should be clear pathways to a high-quality education, an endowed fund was established in her honor in 2021. Dr. Elinor Scully Scholars Fund is a lasting tribute to Dr. Scully, who served as Langley’s head of school from 2013-2021, and provides tuition assistance and supports strategic investments to ensure a Langley education is accessible to students throughout our community.
