Special Events

Every year we hold special events that represent the convergence of our community behind a shared purpose: building community while supporting the goal of our Annual Giving Campaign to provide unique instructional programs that benefit our students and talented teachers.

Benefit Dinner & Live Auction

ACDS hosts an annual benefit dinner party featuring a sit-down dinner, live auction and music at a special location. The event is a lively party that brings together parents, teachers, alumni, and friends of the school for a special evening to celebrate and support ACDS students and teachers.

Parents, alumni, and businesses can support the event by attending, becoming a sponsor of the event, bidding on live auction items or by raising their paddle to support a specific need at ACDS.

For more information about or to learn about ways to get involved for a future Benefit Dinner as an event sponsor, item donor, or volunteer, please contact Syma Latif in the Development Office.

Online Auction

Bid high, and bid often!

ACDS also hosts an online auction open to all parents, alumni, and friends of ACDS. The proceeds from this online event directly support the goal of closing the financial gap between what families pay in tuition and the actual cost of education each ACDS student. That means your auction purchases support every student, every teacher, every day! The online auction typically features a variety of items ranging from one-of-a-kind experiences with ACDS faculty and administration, both child- and adult-oriented buy-in parties, date nights, family outings, vacations, unique experiences and more.
