The role of the Advancement Department at The Awty International School is to coordinate fundraising activities within the School, including the Annual Giving Campaign, the Gala and Golf Tournament in an effort to supplement the School’s operating budget.  This helps to close the gap that tuition and fees alone do not cover in providing a high-quality, internationally focused education.

As with all other independent schools, The Awty International School operates without the financial support from local, state, or national governments.  We seek support from all of our Board of Trustees, current and past parents, alumni, faculty and staff, and friends of the School.

The Advancement Office is located in the Levant Foundation Building, formerly known as Big Blue.  Our hours of business are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Please feel free to drop by or contact us at 713-686-4850.
