Giving Tuesday 2025 was one for the record books at Cor Jesu Academy. Thanks to the generosity of our community, more than $300,000 was raised in a single day to support our students and the mission that unites us all.

This outpouring of support directly strengthens tuition assistance, academic excellence and faith formation, ensuring that every young woman at Cor Jesu has access to the opportunities she deserves. From alumnae and parents to faculty, staff and board members, the Cor Jesu community showed up in a powerful way.
