Help us cover the cost of a faith-based, college preparatory education for children in low income areas of Chicago

Join me in supporting real change. Help us equip motivated students from some of Chicago's underserved neighborhoods with the skills needed for success in college-preparatory high schools and, ultimately, in college, career, and life.

We're raising money to cover the cost of a private education for 4 students at Altus Academy. The cost is $10,000 per student, per year, and any donation will make an impact.

According to a recent study done by the UChicago Consortium, only 20% of Chicago Public School 9th-graders are on track to graduate from college. Studies also show that eighth-grade core GPA is the best predictor of high school success, and, ultimately, being on track to graduate from college.

Altus Academy offers an alternative for underserved families by helping them overcome significant barriers to a quality education. They are able to accomplish this by offering a tuition-free, rigorous, private, elementary education for families in some of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods... and their results have been spectacular:

7 GRADUATING CLASSES

67 GRADUATES

OVER 1 MILLION AWARDED TO ALTUS GRADUATES IN HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS

OVER 80% OF CURRENT ALTUS STUDENTS ARE PROFICIENT IN READING AND OVER 70% IN MATH (COMPARED TO LESS THAN 5% FOR BOTH SUBJECTS AT SOME LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS)

Altus Academy needs our support. They rely 100% on private donations to continue operating. Please join me in helping Altus cover the cost of educating 4 more students. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
