Why Give
Your gift keeps the doors open
Kolbe is one of Connecticut's most affordable private high schools — and most families pay far less than sticker price through scholarships and need-based aid.
Gifts from the community make that possible. They keep the doors open to families who otherwise couldn't consider a private high school — turning a Catholic college-prep education into something real Bridgeport families can reach.

Bridge to Success
Sponsor a student's career launch.
Talent is distributed equally, but opportunity is not. Our innovative internship program bridges this gap by offering a lifeline of opportunity to students who possess the drive to succeed but lack the corporate networks to get their foot in the door.
To make the program completely barrier-free for our families, Kolbe invests $9,500 per student each year. Your gift helps cover the professional training, dedicated program staff, and daily transit behind every placement.
