Tesseract School announces the launch of its inaugural raffle called the Jewel in the Desert, with the final prize drawings on Dec. 14. Proceeds to benefit the Tesseract Scholarship and School Support as well as The United Phoenix Fire Fighters Charities.

Tesseract School awards need-based scholarships for children in Early Childhood through grade 8. Keeping a Tesseract education as affordable as possible is crucial to building a student body that reflects our community as a whole. Tesseract recognizes that the cost of tuition is beyond the reach of some families and strives to ensure that no qualified student who wishes to attend Tesseract is denied admission or required to leave due to verifiable financial need.
