The Welsh Academy looks to enroll 25 students each year to the sixth grade class. 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.

Tuition
Because of the generosity of benefactors to The Welsh Academy, our families receive aid for the full cost of tuition. That means there is no financial obligation to attend The Welsh Academy. Donors have the option to Sponsor a Student by making a gift of $20,000 annually to educate one student. Families must complete the FACTS financial information assessment in order to verify financial need.
