Some of them have done more recent capital campaigns, so may be out of date.

Holton Aims 70M
Landon 20M

Field 34 M
Burke 7M

The secondary school with the largest endowment in the country (and maybe the world) is the Milton Hershey School in Derry Township, Pennsylvania at $12.5 billion.

Yes that's right, BILLION. It's assets surpassed the Ford Foundation last year.

Naturally, the residential school is tuition free but admission is restrictive.

Visi-$22 million lower than I thought
Madeira-$62 million-Girls' boarding schools tend to have lower endowments than their co-ed counterparts. Even Porters has only a $112 million endowment. Madeira's rival Foxcroft completed a campaign about a year ago and raised its endowment to $78 million.

I haven't fund a number for SSSAS. It looks like Flint Hill started one last year which makes sense as it is a newer school.

It looks like Flint Hill's endowment is $4.5 million dollars.

The only number I could find for Prep was $20 million which is kind of low. I wonder if Catholic schools have lower endowments because of discrimination. I can't find numbers for Gonzaga but wonder if it is lower than STA or Landon.

Thank you to whomever is doing the legwork on this. I saw the St. Alban's endowment posted. Did you see anything for NCS? I am stunned by the size of the Holton endowment.

I am surprised that Holton's endowment s larger than Landon's. I can't quickly find numbers for NCS.

Just ger the IRS Form 990 for a school and net assets is listed on the first page. ProPublica and a couple of other sites collect and post the 990s. Two exceptions. Religious schools don't have to file with the IRS at all. And a school could have a separate endowment that benefits the school, although that foundation should be listed on rhe school's 990 if it is a significant source of revenue.

Only other issue is most 990s are a year or two behind and won't reflect recent campaigns or recent spending on big ticket items.

That difference surprised me also. Actually the thing that surprised me the most is the speed with which Holton has turned itself around from when I was a teen. It is good to see.

It also is good to see that all girls schools are doing well in the DMV. There don't seem to be as many all girls as all boys schools but the ones that are around seem to be flourishing. The endowments of the other girls schools will catch up.
