Give this Holiday Season
This holiday season, ICA Cristo Rey Academy reflects on the incredible partnerships and support that have shaped our story. As the oldest all-girls school in San Francisco, we are proud to continue a 141-year legacy of nurturing the next generation of confident women leaders.
This year, we’re especially grateful as we celebrate 15 years in the Cristo Rey Network—a group of 40 career-focused college preparatory schools with unique Corporate Work Study programs that build students’ skills, knowledge, and confidence to enable them to thrive in college and beyond. As a result, 100% of our Class of 2024 is attending college, an extraordinary achievement with 89% being first-generation college students.
We are grateful for the foresight and commitment of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, along with the support of the Cristo Rey Network and the ICA community, who have been instrumental in preserving and advancing our mission throughout history.
Join us in this season of gratitude and generosity by Lighting a Star in tribute to a loved one who shaped your journey. Your Star will help sustain our mission of providing an exceptional education to young women, regardless of financial constraints, and ensure that ICA Cristo Rey, the only all-girls school with a work-study program in the country, remains one of the most affordable and accessible all-girls schools nationwide.
Light a Star to celebrate someone who made a difference in your life (or that hard-to-shop-for loved one on your holiday list!). Together, we can illuminate the futures of our students.
Light a Star!
Give the gift of generosity this holiday season in support of the young women of ICA Cristo Rey.
An e-card can be sent to a loved one to share this meaningful gift. No wrapping paper required!
During our Feast of Light Interfaith Prayer Service on December 17, we will honor the names of those for whom a Light a Star gift was made, whether in tribute or memory.
Stars received after December 17, will be remembered in the prayers of our Campus Ministry students in January 2025.
Sponsor a Superstar, Bridge the Gap: Student Scholarships
Give a scholarship of $12,000 today to bridge the funding gap left after family contributions and our students’ Corporate Work Study program earnings.
ICA Cristo Rey has a steadfast commitment to ensuring that no student is ever turned away due to financial constraints. As a result, some families contribute as little as $500 per year towards tuition, with the average amount being $1,700.
Given that the cost of educating each student is $27,000 for the 2024-25 academic year, we fund scholarships through donor contributions to help cover 47% of the cost of education.
