When you give to Arrupe Jesuit, you are providing life-changing educational and economic opportunity for young people in Denver. Arrupe Jesuit High School is a college preparatory school that serves low-income students through a transformational educational experience. Built on a foundation of rigorous academics, formation in faith and discernment, and a unique work study program, students graduate ready to lead lives of purpose and promise.
Founded in 2003, Arrupe Jesuit is the only high school of its kind in Colorado. Students work five days each month at over 135 partner companies in Denver, gaining corporate work experience from a young age, all the while transforming Denver's business landscape. Student earnings offset a substantial portion of their tuition, and generous community support supplements the remainder. Across the 416 families we serve, the average household income for a family of four is $54,588. The promise of a quality education for these students means brighter futures for their families, leading to incredible economic impact and generational change.
With dedicated wraparound services such as extensive college admissions support, ongoing professional skills training and on-campus mental health counseling, Arrupe Jesuit ensures every student has the best chance to succeed during their high school years and beyond. 100% of Arrupe Jesuit graduates have gained invaluable work experience, earned their high school diploma, and gained acceptance to college.
We are on a mission to provide a quality education to students with limited economic resources. Join us in our mission of transformation and give today !
