Ways to Support

Support Our Community

We are proud that so many of the families whose lives have been changed by Peoria Academy give back to our school to ensure that others may have similar experiences.

These tax-deductible gifts empower us to hire the finest teachers, maintain our world class facilities and supplement tuition for deserving students.

We would love to tell you more about how your gift can ensure that future generations of children in the Peoria region have access to a world-class Peoria Academy education.

We also realize that giving of your financial resources looks different for everyone. Peoria Academy is proud to offer an amazing educational experience for ALL with our recently reimagined scholarship program.

This level of support would not be possible without the generosity of others. In order to recognize some of those who make what Peoria Academy does possible, we have implemented an Annual giving Program that can be found below.

For questions in regards to giving, please contact Brent Oest at boest@peoriaacademy.org for more details!
