Support Gesu’s Pressing Needs

Unique in today’s educational landscape, Gesu offers a holistic education and provides programs that support remedial to advanced learners. Your gift supports our dedicated faculty and the distinctive learning experiences they provide.

General Operating Costs: From keeping the lights on to staffing high-caliber teachers, your general operating contribution impacts Gesu students each day.
Sponsor a Child: Your gift covers the majority of the annual cost to educate one Gesu student. Gesu sends you regular updates about your sponsored child’s progress. Many sponsors get to know their students through our special sponsorship events. Learn more about Sponsor a Child.
Literacy Programs: Youth Education for Tomorrow (YET), Youngest Scholars, and Backe Advanced Writing Program provide individualized instruction and unique learning opportunities, even in the summer.
Extended Day Programs: Our Gesu Extra Mile (GEM) Program and state certified After-School Program offer a safe environment, homework help, and access to exploring new skills, from chess to crochet and healthy cooking.
The Arts: Gesu students receive weekly instruction in art and music with specialized teachers, bringing opportunities for growth and expression. Gesu has partnerships with organizations across the city.
STEM: Starting in Pre-K, weekly lessons in our science lab accompany classroom instruction. Each grade uses cutting-edge technology in its classroom. Math classes, remedial to advanced, are intentionally small.
