Making a difference
International Student Exchange
Our International Student Exchange Program also known as “ExchangeStein” gives our Middle School students an opportunity to participate in this unforgettable and lifechanging experience to travel to foreign countries such as Germany, Spain and Mexico. Our goal is to offer this Exchange opportunity to all our students. Your donation will be contributed towards expenses such as plane tickets, field trips, transportation, etc. We strongly believe that this program encourages early cultural exposure, strengthening language development, builds independence, instills confidence and creates lasting memories.
Student Experiences
Help us create unforgettable learning opportunities for our students! We believe that education extends beyond the classroom, and through your generous donations, we can offer enriching experiences like field trips, hands-on workshops, and special events. These activities inspire curiosity, foster a love of learning, and allow students to connect classroom lessons with the real world. Your support makes it possible for every student to participate, regardless of their financial background. Your tax-deductible donation will spark creativity, broaden horizons, and make education truly come alive!
Eric Mitchell Scholarship Fund
This award was formed in a resolution passed by the Board in March in honor of former AEA Board Vice President Eric Mitchell. It will be presented annually at the end of the school year to a fifth, eighth and twelfth grade student at AEA who best represents and exemplifies the IB Caring attribute. Winners will be memorialized on a perpetual plaque on their respective AEA campus and will also receive an honorarium from a private fund established in Eric’s name.
Holiday Gift Giving
Help make the holidays brighter for our families in need! Each year, we come together as a school community, along with SDPD, to support families facing significant hardships, including homelessness. Your generous donations provide essentials, and small gifts, bringing warmth and relief to those who need it most during the holiday season. Please consider donating to our annual holiday event to ensure every family can experience the joy and comfort of the season. Together, we can make a difference!
Wellness Baskets
Support our Wellness Basket initiative! We’re gathering donations to create wellness baskets filled with basic essentials like toiletries and personal care items for our school families experiencing health challenges, financial hardships, and homelessness. Your contributions can make a world of difference by helping our families feel supported and cared for in difficult times. Please consider donating to bring comfort and relief to those in need in our school community. Every item and every contribution counts!

No public funds are used in this process, ensuring that the program remains independent and driven by the generosity of our community. The EAF is committed to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality and respect for all applicants.
