Philanthropy
Why Give
At SMLS, girls are encouraged to think boldly, embrace possibility, and grow into courageous, compassionate leaders. Your generosity helps create the experiences, opportunities, and sense of belonging that make that journey possible.
Together, we are preparing girls to shape the future and transform the world.
Every Gift Creates Opportunity
As a not-for-profit independent school, tuition covers essential operating costs. Philanthropy allows SMLS to go further and to prepare every girl to thrive in a rapidly changing world — to innovate, to enrich, and to create exceptional learning experiences, such as:
- Innovative programs and experiential learning
- Advanced tools and technology
- Enriched co-curricular opportunities
- Access through bursaries and scholarships
“Growing up, I was an eager learner, but I was often taught to make room for the boys. I genuinely believed some leadership opportunities simply weren't meant for me because I was a girl. I support SMLS because those limits don't exist here. Every day, I see girls stepping into opportunities I never imagined were possible and that's why I believe so deeply in this community." - Rosemary Garcia, SMLS Faculty Member

Raymond Lieu and Rain Jiang
Read More"Watching our daughters grow through music has been one of the greatest joys of parenting. Their time in strings has taught them far more than notes and technique — it has nurtured their confidence, independence, and appreciation for collaboration. Seeing how deeply they've embraced music inspired us to support SMLS in creating more opportunities for students to explore the arts. We hope this gift helps others experience that same spark — the joy of creating, learning, and discovering who they are through music."- Raymond Lieu -
