The Foundation plays a critical role in organizing and managing parent volunteer-led programming and events throughout the year. Parent volunteers are the key to successful programs at Buist!

If you would like to volunteer, please sign up in the Membership ToolKIt to ensure you receive emails for all volunteer opportunities throughout the year.

Every parent/ caregiver at Buist Academy is a member of the Buist Academy Foundation! You can always sign-up to volunteer your time or donate to support our efforts, and you are always welcome to attend our monthly meetings.

The Buist Academy Foundation Board of Directors governs the Foundation and helps to ensure that students and faculty at Buist Academy are offered superior opportunities to teach and learn in safe and healthful facilities so that they can be immersed in diverse educational opportunities that extend beyond formal curriculum requirements. As such, we are always interested in a diverse group of talented and excited community supporters to fulfill this mission. The time commitment for serving is a minimum of a 1-hour monthly onsite meeting, a minimum of participation in 3 events per year, with additional meetings and volunteer activities in between, as warranted, and appropriate.

The Buist Academy Foundation’s goal is to raise the money necessary to provide our children with the most competitive education possible. The Foundation works to maintain the tradition of excellence built by past generations to create a culture where funding is never a roadblock to exceptional and creative learning opportunities at Buist Academy. This typically translates to purchasing elements of education that the district and the state are unable to provide including the International Baccalaureate Programmes, supplemental curriculum and other valuable teacher/student services.
