Growing Up While We Grow Down From third grade to starting a career, we walk with our students and alumni every step of the way

Chicago Jesuit Academy Jerrod ‘09 Infi niti ‘10 Annual Report 2016 Kameron ‘21 “We try to make this school as great as it can be. With people like you, it gets better all the time. We appreciate that you have enough heart to love our school – our CJA community – our home.” Walter, Class of 2017 A Letter from the President

A.M.D.G. September 2016

Dear Friends, On a beautiful Saturday morning this past July, our gym came alive as our students and alumni warmed up for our annual three-on- three tournament. As I made my way through the gym, I was greeted with hugs and handshakes from our oldest alumni. Lorenzo – a towering young man at 6’5’’ – updated me on his summer internship at Walsh Construction and his plans for sophomore year at Centre in Kentucky. Timone told me about his graduation from St. Ignatius College Prep. Jermell and Mateo – two recent Academy grads – spoke about their move to Milwaukee to begin their fi rst year at Marquette. Markel sought me out with a newfound earnestness and talked about his upcoming freshman year at Loyola ’s Arrupe College. Minutes later, I had to slip out the door to attend a wake for an amazing woman: Ms. Ersilee Wesley. I met Ms. Ersilee in June 2005 when CJA fi rst opened our doors at Marillac House. Long before we had proved our worth or done anything to earn Ms. Ersilee’s trust, she welcomed us with open arms. She never tired of telling families, “Your son should go to Jesuit.” She introduced us to many of the children who would become our fi rst students. Twelve years later, these children are now grown men. I saw several of them and their families at the services for Ms. Ersilee. There was Johnnie, who now works for the Chicago Park District and is completing an Associate Degree at the City . He attended the services with his mom, dad and grandmother. They were joined by DaMarcus and his mom. DaMarcus will complete his Economics degree at next spring, and he already has a job offer from a major Chicago bank. Our College-Persistence Team has had the privilege of walking with Johnnie and DaMarcus – and all of our other alumni – as they’ve charted their unique paths from CJA through high school and now college. This is the West Side of Chicago that I know – a place fi lled with loving people who work hard each day to care for their families, their friends and their communities. Theirs are not the stories we hear on the evening news. The lives of Ms. Ersilee, Johnnie, DaMarcus, Markel, Jermell, Mateo and Timone are too often made invisible by the terrible violence that plagues our city. … On that same July weekend, gunmen shot nine people within blocks of our campus between 3:00 PM on Friday and 11:50 PM on Sunday. Of the nine victims who were shot, two were killed: a 19-year-old young man and an 18-year-old young man. Nine human beings shot. Two dead. Seven seriously injured. All within fi ve blocks of CJA. This violence is painfully real, but we ought never be deceived into believing it is the summary statement for our students, our alumni or our neighbors on the West Side of Chicago. … When I returned to the CJA gym after the wake, I got to watch one of the fi nal games of the tournament. It pitted a team led by Timone against one led by Julian – an alum who is a year older than Timone. Julian worked at CJA this summer as a classroom aide, and he hopes to become a teacher when he fi nishes his degree at Knox three years from now. Timone’s and Julian’s teams were well matched. They played each other evenly through two overtimes. As the third overtime came down to a fi nal shot, I looked down the sideline and had to smile. While Timone’s and Julian’s teams battled, Mateo, Jermell, Lorenzo and Markel were on their feet cheering wildly – just four college guys having a great Saturday together. This is the normal we know is possible. This is what we fi ght so hard for. These are the invisible stories of quiet courage that defi ne our students and alumni. It’s why we believe so deeply in their great God-given promise. Thank you once again for believing in them. In gratitude,

Matthew Lynch President Chicago Jesuit Academy Class of 2016

The gentlemen of Chicago Jesuit Academy made impressive gains on the TerraNova test between the spring of 2015 and the spring of 2016. Each grade grew by at least one grade- level in each subject, closing the gap with — and in some cases surpassing — their peers nation-wide. On average, students entered CJA in fi fth grade testing at the mid-third-grade level in Reading, Language and Mathematics.

It is also during HAP that we begin to learn about the When we graduated our fi rst students from CJA in 2009 – the tremendous challenges our newest students face. Each year, same young men who are now entering their senior year of approximately 20-25% of our incoming students are just college – we learned that their paths were not going to be beginning to learn how to read.

Still others have never had the found the transition to high school challenging academically opportunity to see a school nurse or sit down with a social or socially.

It will also allow our students who require the most resources to get the care and love they need for as much as two extra years at CJA.

… As we grow down to serve 3rd- and 4th-grade students for the fi rst time, our College-Persistence (CP) Team continues to serve our alumni as they grow into young adults and plan for what is next in their lives.

Even the most well-resourced families fi nd navigating the college admissions process and paying for college to be an incredible challenge. For our alumni, almost all of whom will be among the fi rst in their family to attend college – the road is even more diffi cult. Whether our alumnus attends a rigorous college prep high school in the Noble Network of Charter Schools, a selective private high school like Loyola Academy or a boarding school such as La Lumiere, the CP Team visits each alumnus every year and ensures he is supported throughout his high school career. Similarly, whether a young man attends Williams College on a full scholarship, enrolls at Loyola University Chicago’s Arrupe College, elects to work full-time or enlists in military service, we continue to serve as a trusted advocate for that alumnus and his family.

As our oldest alumni begin to complete their post- and enter the professional world, the CP Team has actively worked with them to construct resumes, facilitate internships, guide job placement and build networks within professional fi elds they are most interested in pursuing.

We take great hope from the success of our oldest alumni. In our fi rst four classes, 97% of our alumni have graduated from high school. Among these college-aged alumni, over 70% are persisting in two-year or four-year colleges or and an additional 15% are working full time or enlisted in military service. By any objective measure, our alumni are fi nding As a non-academically selective Jesuit school, we are called to great success. cultivate each young man’s talents and respond to each young man’s challenges. Most importantly, the CP Team stays in contact with and cares for our alumni who are not in college or working.

Chicago Children’s Choir

For the fi rst time, the Chicago Children’s Choir will be working with our youngest students during the 2016-17 school year. Twice per week, a choir director will come to CJA to teach our students the basics of pitch and rhythm as well as an ear for music. Our young men will practice traditional and popular songs.

Through the Choir, our students will have the opportunity to perform in city-wide events at two of the most well-known venues in Chicago: Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park and Navy Pier. In addition, they will perform during school events such as our African-American Heritage Celebration.

Lower School Middle School

Technology and Mathematics

Since CJA is not an academically selective school, our students have a wide ranging of learning needs. Particularly in math classes, technology plays a key role in helping our teachers differentiate their instruction for each student.

Our math teachers supplement their instruction with a computer program called ST Math. The program helps our students increase their math comprehension and profi ciency through spatial and temporal learning. Most importantly, ST Math’s visual instruction means that students whose language skills are still growing can more easily grasp math concepts that they might have struggled with through traditional instruction. ACT Prep

One of the biggest obstacles that our alumni face during the transition from high school to college is the affordability of post-secondary education. In addition to their high school grades, our alumni must earn competitive scores on standardized tests in order for college to be affordable for them.

Each summer, our College-Persistence Team facilitates individual ACT prep for a subset of our alumni. Following these courses, our alumni’s composite scores have risen between one and seven points. On average, they have risen two points. This growth can be the difference between attending a rigorous four-year college and not having affordable access to those opportunities as they graduate from high school.

Internship Program

Through the advocacy of our Board of Directors and other friends of the school, our College- Persistence Team has built the Alumni Summer Internship Program at CJA. This program pairs our talented alumni with partner companies to help our alumni gain experience and build professional networks.

During the summer of 2016, our college-aged alumni served as interns at Wintrust Financial Corporation, The Heico Companies, Navman Wireless, Cooney & Conway and Walsh Construction. If your company would like to hire an intern for the summer of 2017, please contact our Director of College Persistence, Mr. Jay Kemper, at [email protected]. Chicago Jesuit Academy Benefactors
