Help Us Out

Give children
the right to hope.

“Let us save the children, in order to save the hope of humanity! This is what we are urgently called to do by that Child born in Bethlehem, the God who became man, to give us back the right to hope.”

SAINT JOHN PAUL THE GREAT

John Paul the Great Academy Christmas 2024

Saint John Paul the Great Academy Foundation is a 501c3 tax exempt organization which exists to support the educational efforts of Saint John Paul the Great Academy in Harlem, NY. Our desire is to offer an integral, Catholic, liberal arts education where faith becomes culture in New York City.

Sponsorship Opportunities

  • Student Sponsorship Society

    Together, families and sponsors invest in each student.

    Every family contributes a customized, affordable tuition rate—and sponsors help offset the remaining cost, making a John Paul the Great Academy education available to all.

    Sponsor a Student

  • Day & Week Guardians

    Although sponsoring books and pencils are real needs, the operational costs of rent and utilities are a prerequisite which give us the place to educate the children.

    Day and week guardians take responsibility to watch over the Academy’s operational needs. Please choose a date of significance for you, a family member or former teacher. We pray for our benefactors at the beginning and end of each day with the children.

    Keep Watch

  • Ex Libris Society

    Members of the Ex Libris Society find joy in providing great literature to nourish and form the minds of our students and faculty. Every book donated will be adorned with a personalized bookplate inside the front cover as a memorial of your gift. If you prefer to send us a book we’d love, we have Amazon wish lists below each grade level that corresponds to our historical approach. Psst! Don’t forget about those teachers!

    Stock the Library

  • Totus Tuus Multiyear Pledge Society

    Members of the Totus Tuus Multiyear Pledge Society express their commitment to the mission by pledging a fixed amount for a 5-year period which frees the Academy to flourish for years to come.
