Program Description
Chicago Jesuit Academy offers children with educational and economic needs access to a Catholic, college preparatory middle school education in the Jesuit tradition. Additionally, CJA provides advocacy and the long-term resources to help students develop the moral and intellectual foundation to succeed in college prep high schools, universities and their adult roles as family, business and community leaders.
Chicago Jesuit Academy is a full-scholarship institution. The success of CJA's mission is made possible by the ongoing and disciplined sacrifices of the Academy's students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, volunteers and benefactors.
