This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to help us raise $18,000 to fund a full year’s scholarship for one student at Nativity Prep. Here, every student attends on a full scholarship, with families bearing no financial burden for the exceptional, holistic education their sons receive.

Currently, we have waiting lists in 6th and 7th grades. At schools that charge tuition, waiting lists mean lost revenue. For Nativity, they represent something far more profound: an increasing number of underserved young men eager for the quality education that Nativity Prep offers—one that nurtures their academic, personal, and social growth.

Each scholarship covers classroom instruction, books, social support, spots, educational technology like iPads, and extracurricular activities—ensuring that our scholars can focus on reaching their full potential without the barrier of cost.

By helping us reach our goal, you’re not just supporting one student; you’re affirming the promise of equal educational opportunity and the power it has to change lives. This Giving Tuesday, join us in funding a full scholarship and open the doors to opportunity for a young man at Nativity Prep. 

Together, we can make an impact that lasts a lifetime.

In September of 2003, Nativity Preparatory School of Wilmington proudly opened its doors to 15 eager and enthusiastic fifth and sixth graders, marking the beginning of a transformative journey. Now, entering its Third Decade, Nativity Prep reflects on its rich history of empowering young minds. Since its inception, Nativity Prep has nurtured 18 graduating classes, boasting a remarkable tally of 172 alumni.

In June 2010, Nativity witnessed the inaugural graduation of its first cohort, as they completed their senior year of high school and embarked on the next chapter of their academic journey in college. Fast forward to the 2023-2024 academic year, with 54 students enrolled, Nativity continues its mission of providing a nurturing environment for low-income boys of all faiths in grades five through eight.

At its core, Nativity Prep is dedicated to the profound task of transforming lives. Through an extended day and year, coupled with high expectations, values formation, a robust summer program, and rigorous academic standards, Nativity equips its students to thrive as active participants in their evolving communities. Embodying the motto "be who you are and be that well," Nativity graduates emerge as productive, fulfilled, and dynamic members of society, a testament to the school's enduring legacy of excellence and impact.
