A Number Small Enough to Know
Our founding cohort is twelve boys. Twelve is small enough that every boy is known by name, watched closely, and held to a standard. Twelve is small enough that no one disappears.
When you give to Boys Academy, you are not one donor among thousands. You are one of a small circle who made the first twelve possible. Your gift becomes a desk, a book, a meal, a field trip, a mentor's hour, or the founding year of a boy whose family could not afford it alone.

Three Buckets. One Mission.
You choose how your gift is used. Here is what each bucket builds.
A Boy's Education
This is tuition, scholarship, and the full year. Your gift means a boy whose family cannot afford Boys Academy walks in anyway. Mentorship, instruction, field experience, and the calm, rigorous room he needs are all covered. Financial assistance is available for qualifying families, and this is how we fund it.
Supplies and Materials
Books, journals, lab tools, art supplies, technology, and everything a boy puts his hands on during the school day. A well-resourced classroom is a quiet promise that he is worth the investment.
Facility and Classroom Costs
Rent, furniture, the small spaces where mentorship happens over shared tea, and the calm rooms that make focused learning possible. Boys learn differently when the environment honors them.
More Than Money
Not every gift is a check. Here are three other ways to back Boys Academy that matter just as much.
Host an Immersive Learning Experience
Open your workplace to a Boys Academy student. Host a six-week learning internship at your organization and give a boy real-world projects, mentors, and space to think deeply while he explores your field and practices leadership. You shape a boy by letting him see what is possible.
Partner With Us
For companies and foundations: sponsor a founding seat, underwrite a six-week city cycle, or fund the tools our boys learn with. Tell us what you have in mind and we will build the partnership with you.
After you give, we’ll invite you to stay close to the story. Join the circle of those who believe.
