Adopt a Student
In the Academic year 2023/2024, St. Patrick Academy will serve 85 students, the majority of whom reside in the Rhode Island metropolitan area, including Providence, Pawtucket, and Central Falls, Cranston, North Providence, Johnston, and East Providence.
The cost of educating a student at St. Patrick Academy is substantial, but no family is charged more for tuition than they can afford. This year, 81% of SPA students will pay $1,000 or less per student. The cost to educate a student at SPA is $12,800 - the unfunded portion of the tuition is supported by contributions from donors like you.
The Adopt-a-Student program matches a generous donor with a student in need, and an adoption can be established with a minimum gift of $600. The SPA Development Office welcomes all inquiries into the Adopt-a-Student program. Payment plans (recurring gifts), multi-year programs, and pledges are available. Contributions can be made at any time during the academic year, including during the NACEPF Challenge and the Lenten Appeal campaigns.
