Making an Impact
The unique mission of Girard College – to provide children from underserved communities with an excellent academic and residential program – has endured and thrived for 175 years thanks to the steadfast support of our community.
We celebrate our friends, donors, and partners who stand alongside our students as they navigate the future and anchor their impact on the world. You extend the legacy of Stephen Girard by securing the tools our students need to create legacies of their own.
Choosing Girard College was easy for our family. I knew from our first visit that Girard would be a safe place for Antoine to live and learn.
