9:00PM Silent Auction closes Live Auction begins
10:00PM Dessert
Welcome to the Geneva School Gala Proceeds of the auction will benefit The Geneva School of Manhattan, the only classical and Christian school in the New York City area. As a classical Christian school, The Geneva School of Manhattan exists to provide a time-proven classical education within a biblical worldview. We equip students to love learning, pursue excellence, and become leaders in scholarship, virtue, and faith.
The Geneva School of Manhattan was founded in 1996. As a young institution without the legacy of alumni support and endowment, it relies on the assistance of friends who share in its unique vision to continue its mission.
The Gala aims to raise funds for the Scholarship Fund and the enhancement of our program needs.
The Gala is the primary fundraiser for the Scholarship Fund, which upholds the School’s mission by making available scholarship funds for many families from all parts of New York City. Geneva School generously extends financial aid to many School families, including those who move to New York City for ministry purposes.
We want to acknowledge the progress made from last year’s auction paddle raise. Last year, we raised funding for two new faculty members for our sports program and a bus for our Geneva Knights sports team.
Please note that The Geneva School of Manhattan is tax exempt under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Thank you for your participation in the Geneva Gala!
