Morgan, my 13 year old son, has just been accepted to the Arthur Morgan School! he is understandably equal parts excited and afraid to take such a huge leap. Arthur Morgan is a small, intentional Quaker based middle school tucked into the mountains of North Carolina. AMS is a place that honors the whole child — body, mind, and spirit. It is, in every way, the kind of learning environment we’ve dreamed of for Morgan.

We’re asking for support to help cover:

• The $2,000 non-refundable deposit, due right away

• Additional tuition and travel costs

• (We’re applying for financial aid, but the deposit is required first)

If you feel moved to help, any amount — large or small — makes a difference.

If now’s not the time to give, sharing this campaign with others who believe in alternative education, regenerative community, or simply the beauty of helping a young person find their way — that means just as much.

We are raising Morgan in a way that honors his heart, his intelligence, and his deep connection to the living world. This school is an answer to a prayer — and we’re asking, with vulnerability and gratitude, for help crossing the threshold.

With love,

Emily
