The Welsh Academy at Saint Ignatius High School

At The Welsh Academy, every student attends on a full scholarship. Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors and the support of Saint Ignatius High School, students receive a full scholarship that covers the cost of tuition. 

The Welsh Academy was founded on a simple but powerful idea: that boys from Cleveland’s neighborhoods deserve access to a high-quality, Jesuit middle school education. Every student receives a full-tuition scholarship that covers not only academics, but also meals, technology, field trips, and more. There are several fees associated with attending The Welsh Academy. Welsh Academy families must meet financial need requirements and must apply for financial aid in order to qualify. 

Please help us this Giving Tuesday to continue to provide students with an environment where they can focus on growing as scholars, leaders, and young men of faith.

Who We Are

The Welsh Academy looks to enroll 20 new students each year. Ideal applicants are students who primarily live in Cleveland or its inner-ring suburbs and who attend either public or charter schools. Prospective students should demonstrate personal commitment and academic promise though most may not have had opportunities that allow them to reach their fullest promise and potential.

The goal of The Welsh Academy is to educate middle school boys in the Jesuit tradition to ready them for a college-preparatory secondary education. Through our unique curriculum and faith-based learning, students learn to become leaders in our school, in their communities, and in our world.

The Welsh Academy is an entity within Saint Ignatius High School and academy students have access to the campus and facilities. Welsh Academy students have opportunities to participate in all-campus events, to work with Saint Ignatius faculty, as well as to partner with current high school students and the local community.
