Join us at our upcoming events!
21st Annual Golf Tournament
October 27, 2023 @ 9:00AM — 3:30PM
A day on the course to support Ware Academy students!
We are excited to announce our new venue for this fall, and we hope that you make plans to join us at Ford’s Colony. The golf tournament is a community favorite and our second largest fundraiser for the school each year.
Proceeds from the Golf Tournament provide direct funding for the enrichment and educational initiatives that tuition alone does not cover. Your participation in this event is an investment in the education of every child at Ware!
Past Events
Annual Auction and Gala
April 22nd, 2023
This year’s annual auction and gala will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023. Last year’s event welcomed back eventgoers and achieved a record success. This year we will gather for an Evening Under the Stars donning black and white apparel. By popular demand, Snackbar Jones will return to the stage as our live entertainment to rock the night away.
Ware Academy is dedicated to our mission to educate the whole child with an emphasis on rigorous academics and character development. Despite record-high enrollment, the school upholds the traditional values that have become hallmarks of a Ware Academy education. “ The energy at Ware surpasses any energy in the past, “ says Kim Croxton, Upper School lead teacher. “ We’ve been small, and we’ve grown larger, and we never lose what is special about Ware.” Tuition alone does not fully cover the cost of educating a student at Ware Academy. Our annual Auction is our largest fundraiser each year, proceeds go directly to the school’s academic programs, technology enhancements, the athletic department, and fine and performing arts programs, and are vital to providing a Ware Academy education.

The school creates an educational atmosphere built around the pillars of confidence, leadership, accountability, responsibility, character, and independence.
