  • Keeping Dreams Alive.

    As a non- profit, Joyful Scholars collects only enough tuition to cover day to day operating costs. We receive no state or federal funding.

    We are facing an immediate and significant funding need. The renovation process of our building suffered the effects of economic conditions created by Covid. Inflation and supply chain shortages compounded costs and left us with a substantial funding gap.

    To continue providing quality programs into the future for current and new families, adequate staffing, and high-level direct student support we need to address our shortfall. We need immediate support of the community we value so much to keep our future bright!

    Joyful Scholars is a complimentary, out-of-the box option for students desiring more hands-on, student-centered learning. We currently provide Montessori education to 117 students from all over the greater Wenatchee Valley.

  • Rent "angels"

    Rent is our great expenditure.

    We currently have two building spaces, one in Wenatchee and one in Cashmere. Our classrooms provide learning space to 117 students in pre-school through high school.

    They are the foundation of a prepared environment and all of our programs.

  • Share Ideas

    Some of the best ideas come out of collaboration with others. We are always looking for business and community partners who have fundraising ideas and opportunities that benefit everyone!
