What does your donation go toward? September donations are in support of tuition assistance for VCS families who need a bit of extra help making progressive education a reality for their children. We know that being part of an inclusive community benefits everyone, so we work to support families who believe in our mission but need help making it happen. We dedicate 10% of our operating budget, or approximately $300,000 annually, to financial assistance. Your donation helps 15% of our families attend Chance School. Your donation matters!

The Zones of Regulation curriculum is a platform we use all throughout Chance to strengthen our social-emotional learning. The learning activities we will explore this year are designed to help the students recognize when they are in different states called "zones," identify others' feelings, and use strategies to process challenging emotions to return to a calm, peaceful state. This ability to consciously regulate their actions, in turn, leads to increased control and problem-solving skills.
