Why Support MDA?

We rely on the generosity of those in our community to fulfill our mission to educate as many under-resourced children as possible, regardless of their families' means, and to graduate students who are confident, lifelong learners, prepared to succeed in our global world.

Mission Dolores Academy offers innovative curriculum extensions, a rigorous academic program, and comprehensive wellness services to target the needs of our student population. Initiatives such as our Literacy Program help set an MDA education apart from all the rest. In addition, tuition assistance is available to qualifying families to ensure that our educational opportunities remain accessible to all students.

In partnership with a dedicated community of supporters, MDA empowers students to become the academically prepared, life-long learners they seek to be. 

As a measure of the school's progress, 94% of our graduates from the Class of 2026 were accepted to top Catholic and independent high schools across the Bay Area, including Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, ICA Cristo Rey Academy, Drew, Mercy, and Waldorf.
