Special Events

Our special events represent the convergence of our community behind a shared purpose: building community while raising essential funds that directly support ACDS's unique instructional programs and benefit our talented teachers.

Benefit Dinner & Live Auction | March 28, 2020

In 2020, ACDS will host a benefit dinner party featuring a sit-down dinner, live auction and music at the elegant Westin San Jose hotel. The event will be 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 as an event sponsor, item donor, or volunteer, please contact Jennifer Hull in the Development Office.

Online Auction | March 25-29, 2020

Bid high, and bid often!

We are pleased to announce that from March 25-29, 2020, we will host 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 will feature 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.
