Programs and results
What we aim to solve
St. Ignatius Loyola Academy aims to end the cycle of poverty within families and underserved neighborhoods in Baltimore, by providing an outstanding education to boys in grades 5-8. Over the Academy's 28 year history, 98% of our graduates have graduated from high school compared to 64% of males in Baltimore City in 2018. Additionally, 88% of our graduates immediately enroll in college or post-secondary education.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Academic School Year
Students attend school from late August through May from 7:45 am until 5 pm (M-Th) and until 3:30 pm on Fridays. At the end of the academic day (3:30 PM), students participate in after-school programming until 5 PM including interscholastic sports, intramurals, one-on-one tutoring, study hall, clubs or special activities (robotics, FIRST LEGO League, Junior Bach, etc.)
Graduate Support
The Graduate Support Team works with students in 8th grade to help them select the high school best suited to their needs and abilities. Once in high school, our Graduate Support staff meets with each student at least 2-4 times each year to follow his progress and provide a safety net of support where needed. The staff also works with high school juniors and seniors to help them with the college application process and arranges college visits. Our Graduate Support Team also provides SAT prep classes, tutoring, social events, and networking and job-seeking resources for all alumni.
Summer Term
The Academy's summer term includes a two-week faculty-led overnight camp in June for current Academy students in grades 6 and 7. Students in grade 5 participate in a day camp at the Academy. June camp includes outdoor activities and field trips that provide an opportunity for students to develop resiliency and leadership skills while developing stronger relationships with faculty and each other. In July, all students in grades 5 through 8 return for the start of the school year. The July program provides four weeks of academic instruction in core areas (math and reading), additional learning opportunities, and social and fun activities. Students are in school from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM each day and are provided breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We seek to provide young men in grades 5-8, an opportunity to receive an outstanding education that will lead to high school, college and a successful future.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
St. Ignatius Loyola Academy is a tuition-free independent school. 100% of our students qualify for the Federal free and reduced meal program. Our students attend school for 11 months each year, from 7:45 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Students are provided breakfast, lunch and snacks. Additionally, students participate in sports, clubs, and receive one-on-one tutoring and support. Our classes are small (15 or less students). Our faculty is extremely dedicated to our mission. We provide a supportive learning environment that enables students to reach their potential. Our Graduate Support Program works with students and families on the high school application and college application processes and our team follows each student through high school and into college. Our Alumni remain connected to the Academy long after college and give back. Currently, four Academy graduates have returned to teach and two serve on our Board of Directors.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Through philanthropy, each student is sponsored. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to ensure every child succeeds academically, socially and emotionally through support, guidance, and educational instruction.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We continue to strive to provide the best education to prepare our students for the rigors of high school and college. We continue to build and grow our Graduate Support Program to provide our alumni with additional opportunities including mentorship, networking, and professional development.
In the 2016-2017 academic year, the Academy expanded our enrollment to include 5th grade.
