The Duxbury Education Foundation (DEF) is a community-based, all volunteer organization, whose mission is to provide alternative funding for innovative ideas and enriching programs in the Duxbury Public Schools. We encourage imaginative teachers, administrators, and school support groups by providing financial suppport to try something which is currently outside the school budget. Now in our twentieth year, the DEF has funded nearly $1,000,000 in equipment and enrichment programs for the Duxbury Public Schools. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about the DEF.
