The Excellence Fund
At Hancock Day School, excellence isn’t just what we do — it’s who we are.
The Excellence Fund is the cornerstone of our school’s annual giving and supports every student, every teacher, and every classroom every day.
Inspiring Excellence. Investing in the Future.
Together, We Make Hancock Stronger
Every gift to the Excellence Fund helps Hancock Day School continue to inspire academic excellence, strong character, and the Hancock Way—shaping students who lead with integrity, curiosity, and compassion.
Excellence Fund gifts bridge the small gap between tuition and the full cost of a Hancock education and provide additional funds that allow the school to advance our mission.
Why It Matters
The Excellence Fund provides resources that enable us to deliver the exceptional experience our students deserve and our families expect. These unrestricted funds support programs, materials, people, and special activities and opportunities that make Hancock extraordinary.
