St. John de la Salle Academy

A small Catholic school on the south side of Chicago, St. John de la Salle Academy has for 68 years delivered an individualized education rooted in academic excellence and developing the whole child. One hundred percent of their 8th graders are accepted to their top choice high school.

A grant of $75,000 will give the academy the ability to open two new classrooms to 50 more children in the Rosemoor neighborhood who have suffered a year or more of learning loss and whose parents have been seeking a small school where their child can thrive, and ignite the torch of life-long learning.
