Commonly Asked Questions
WHAT IS EUDAIMONIA?
Eudaimonia is a Greek word consisting of "eu" (good) and “daimon" (spirit).
It is commonly translated as happiness, and also means human flourishing, self-actualization, knowing who you are and what you believe and having the courage to live accordingly. This is the kind of happiness we encourage our children at Summers-Knoll to pursue.
HOW ARE FUNDS USED?
All funds raised go to support need-based financial aid for qualifying Summers-Knoll students. Over 30% of students at Summers-Knoll receive some level of tuition support.
WHAT ARE “EXPERIENCES”?
These are items where multiple people sign up at a fixed price to participate in a class or experience. These are not auction items; no bidding is involved. Summers-Knoll faculty, Ann Arbor organizations, and Summers-Knoll families have crafted experiences for children and adults to enjoy.
CAN I MAKE A CASH DONATION?
Yes! See our link to the left hand side of the page. Your donation will be allocated 100% to our need-based financial aid program. If you would like to donate an item, contact Maggie Hicken at mhicken@umich.edu.
