Quintral International School promises to deliver an educational experience that balances a deep love and respect for the natural world, solution-oriented critical thinking and problem solving skills, and a true understanding of our interdependence and the value of community. But we cannot do this alone. We are seeking donors from around the world who support our mission and want to help make our dreams come to life. Thank you for considering a tax-deductible gift toward the building and development of our school. When you give to Quintral, you are making an investment in the next generation of leaders and peace-makers.

How Will Your Donation Be Used?
As a brand new school, our initial donations will go toward the transformation of our rental property from a high-end farm-to-table restaurant and garden to a nature-based primary school. We will use these funds to hire and train staff, purchase a dome which will serve as our second classroom, build a deck foundation for our dome, and bring in additional structures in order to enhance student creativity and autonomy during class and while playing freely outside.
In our first year as a school we anticipate a smaller number of students and we hope to charge a lower-than-average tuition rate. That said, we still intend to offer competitive salaries to our staff and we do not intend to cut corners on the quality of education, variety of experiences, or quality of nutrition that we supply for our students. In order for this to happen we will need to depend on donations to offset our monthly costs. We will also put this year’s donations toward electronics, science lab equipment, musical instruments, art supplies, reference books and tools for the workshop.
Our dream is to purchase a piece of land in which to build our school a permanent and purpose-built home. Once our school is off the ground and running, we will be turning our fundraising efforts toward the purchase and development of our permanent campus.

Scholarship Fund
As soon as possible, we will be setting up a permanent scholarship fund, which will help ensure that our student body remains diverse and that no young person is turned away because of their family’s financial situation. We expect to divert a portion of our donations toward scholarships beginning in Phase 1.
