Arborum’s Commitment to Public Education
Empowering Students. Supporting Teachers. Strengthening Communities.
At Arborum Academy, we believe education isn’t a zero-sum game. Every child deserves an inspiring classroom. Every teacher deserves the resources to match their passion. Every community deserves schools that reflect its potential. That’s why we created the Public School Empowerment Fund (PSEF), a way for private education to lift up public education, not compete with it.
How It Works
For every Arborum student, $500 goes directly to underfunded public schools in your community. This isn’t charity, it’s shared growth. It’s about giving teachers tools, students opportunities, and communities a stronger foundation for learning.
These funds are used where they matter most:
- Curriculum & Programs: STEM, arts, trades, and culturally grounded learning
- Teacher Support: Bonuses, professional growth, and wellness programs
- Student Experience: Technology, field trips, supplies, and enrichment
- Community Engagement: Gardens, after-school programs, and family events
Every dollar is traceable, reported publicly, and reviewed independently to ensure impact. We show exactly where funds go and how they help students thrive.
Who Benefits
The PSEF focuses on Title I public schools, those serving high numbers of students from low-income families. Schools that receive funding demonstrate a commitment to equity, creativity, and student wellness, and agree to transparent reporting on outcomes.
Why It Matters
Your child’s education is connected to the world around them. When Arborum students succeed, we also invest in the classrooms where their neighbors, friends, and future collaborators learn. The PSEF turns enrollment into impact: every Arborum student creates a ripple effect that strengthens teachers, classrooms, and communities.
The Bigger Picture
As Arborum grows, so does the PSEF; city by city, school by school. The impact is immediate and tangible:
- Teachers gain resources to make their classrooms thrive
- Students access programs that spark curiosity and confidence
- Communities feel pride as schools become centers of creativity and growth
We’re proving a new model for private education: one where success for your child and success for the public good go hand in hand.
