The Enrichment Grants program is co-funded by CAF and Carlmont Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), with a goal to support student enrichment in the classroom.
CAF’S mission with this program is to support the teachers’ endeavors to innovate and enrich their classrooms and programs. The program strives to fund as many requests to the extent feasible with an equitable spread across departments. These grants help students engage with the curriculum, spark connections and conversations, and leave a lasting impression. Thank you to the teachers who applied for these grants to continually make Carlmont a more exciting and interesting place to learn.
The Enrichment Grant program contributions for the 2025-26 school year were $20,000 from CAF and $30,000 from PTSA.
