Ladue Education Foundation & Alumni Association

WHO WE ARE 

We are you...parents and neighbors, alumni and teachers, community and business leaders who keep the Ladue School District and the entire community strong by investing in our greatest resource—our children. Our volunteer board is supported by an Executive Director and dozens of dedicated volunteers. The Ladue Education Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. 

HOW THE LEF CONTRIBUTES TO THE LADUE SCHOOL DISTRICT 

The LEF advances the educational success of all students, in all grades, with all ability levels. As a result, the efforts of the LEF support the Ladue School District's vision: "Together, we will empower every student to become a passionate learner and achieve his or her highest potential." 

WHY LEF FUNDING IS UNIQUE AND ESSENTIAL

The Ladue School District will always continue to fund state educational requirements. In addition, the district goes beyond these requirements to meet standards set forth by the district's strategic plan. However, budget realities limit the district’s ability to fund or pilot every program that holds promise. Similarly, the parent organizations of individual school buildings play a valuable role in providing additional resources to students and staff. However, their focus is on the practical needs of their building, not on the advancement of education in the district as a whole.
