The Tabor Family Network

At Tabor, we’re more than just a school, we’re a community and a second family. Once you and your family enroll, you join a tight-knit network of global Seawolves, all of whom come together to support our students, now and even beyond their years at Tabor.

Our School by the Sea warmly welcomes families from across the nation and around the globe, uniting more than 17,000 parents, guardians, grandparents, alumni, faculty and staff, trustees, and friends as our extended Seawolf family. Our aim is to nurture robust connections and uphold Tabor’s mission in our daily lives. Most importantly, the Tabor community stands strong to back our present students—the youngest members of our Tabor family—as an assembly of passionate advocates, volunteers, and philanthropists.

Engage and Participate

Regardless of your location—near or far—we encourage families to get involved, there are numerous opportunities to engage, both in-person and virtually, throughout the year.

Participate in the Family Association

The goal of the Family Association (FA) is to broaden and deepen Tabor's relationship with families by fostering an inclusive forum to meet one another and participate and volunteer in ways that will make you feel closer to your child’s school. Every parent and guardian is automatically a member of the FA and is encouraged to attend meetings with your class representatives, which are held throughout the year. If you choose to get more involved, you can:

Volunteer at on and off campus events
Connect with parent class representatives in in-person and virtual settings
Participate in outreach initiatives to welcome new and prospective families
Engage with families at events hosted by Tabor Academy and fellow parents and guardians alike

At Tabor, you don’t have to be local to be involved. For international families and those residing beyond driving range from Marion, the FA welcomes you to join in. Our Family Engagement Office is here to help you make it happen.

Keep apprised of upcoming FA meetings and other Tabor events that are open to parents and guardians by bookmarking the Family Event Calendar.

Become Part of a Philanthropic Community

Philanthropy has been a cornerstone of our community since our founding in 1876 by Elizabeth Taber. Each year, parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends play a pivotal role in supporting ongoing operations through the Fund for Tabor and capital initiatives that enhance the student experience and uphold the school's mission.

Contributions beyond tuition are fundamental to upholding the school's mission, and we depend on our current families to contribute to Tabor through an annual gift. Each year, the senior class works toward a special contribution, leaving behind a lasting legacy for future generations to enjoy. Recent Senior Class Gifts have included patio furniture and firepits.

To become a Family Advancement Ambassador, we invite you to make an annual leadership gift of $5,000 or more designated to your area of interest. As an Ambassador, you will:
