Catholic schools around the city are closing and relocating to the suburbs. How is CJA able to remain open?
We have been very fortunate that generous people who have had the benefit of a quality, faith-based education want to help make that same education accessible to children on the West Side of Chicago who come from modest economic backgrounds. Our benefactors want to make certain that the same opportunities they had at places like St. Ignatius College Prep, Loyola Academy, Fenwick, Resurrection and Loyola University will be available to the young men we serve if our students choose to work hard to earn an education. Our benefactors see this as a justice issue. They want to make certain that no child is kept from a great education simply because of where they happened to be born. We are grateful to these benefactors and the Jesuit communities throughout Chicago who have made Chicago Jesuit Academy a reality.
