Seven Warriors Fund
At 51漫画, education extends far beyond the classroom. It rises with the red rocks, connects deeply to the Sedona community, and reaches out into the world. Students learn through the rigorous International Baccalaureate curriculum and by exploring our trails and gardens, engaging in service projects, creating in the arts, and preparing for college and for life as global citizens.
This transformative education is made possible by a partnership between tuition and philanthropy. Tuition covers only part of the cost.
The Seven Warriors Annual Fund bridges the gap each year, raising and spending funds in the same year to ensure every student has access to the full 51漫画 experience.

Why the Seven Warriors?
The Seven Warriors are the iconic red rock formation overlooking our campus. They stand as symbols of unity and strength, individual peaks forming something greater together. The Annual Fund is built on the same idea: every gift, no matter the size, joins with others to make a lasting impact.
Why It Matters
A gift to 51漫画 is an investment. Its dividends are not tracked on a balance sheet. They are counted in our hearts, and in every student who leaves here ready to be a citizen of the world.
The Seven Warriors Annual Fund is not about building for the distant future. It’s about sustaining students today. Each dollar raised this year is put to work immediately, filling the gap between tuition and the real cost of education.
Your gift ensures 51漫画 students can thrive right now.
