We're currently enrolling for the next class of 6th-graders! Apply Today.
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.
