Goal: Raise $20,000 for our academy
Giving Tuesday is a global movement unleashing the power of generosity. Your Community Investment gift directly impacts our operating budget by supporting our amazing teachers and classrooms.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re celebrating families who give back and the reasons that inspire their generosity. Read why the Kasraee family chooses to give.
"We chose Cicero because it represents much more than academics-it’s a community built around character, integrity, and genuine intellectual curiosity. While we know the classical curriculum is challenging, that’s exactly what makes it so valuable. Our family has stayed at Cicero because we’ve seen how it shapes not only strong students, but thoughtful, kind, and disciplined young people. The teachers truly care, and the environment fosters a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom. We’ve witnessed firsthand the impact of Great Hearts’ mission. The education our children receive at Cicero is deeply personal and transformative, and we want to ensure that experience continues for all families, regardless of financial means. Supporting the Community Investment and Tax Credit campaigns is our way of saying “thank you” for the daily dedication of the faculty and leadership, and investing in the kind of future we believe in-one grounded in virtue and excellence."

Give to Cicero Prep
Community Investment helps to cover the gap between what we receive from public funding and the actual cost to provide our students with a Great Hearts classical liberal arts education.
Your support funds initiatives such as:
• Music, Art & Foreign Language daily
• Faculty Training and Education
• School Security

Your gifts and contributions are what make a Great Hearts education possible.
At Cicero Preparatory Academy, we strongly believe that every student deserves the tools and opportunities to become Great Hearted leaders ready to make their mark on the world.
When you choose to partner with us through your gifts of time, talent or treasure, you’re investing directly into your child's educational experience. Every single dollar you donate stays right here at Cicero Prep to help close the gap between what is provided by the state and what it takes to deliver a Great Hearts education.
We encourage you to make a gift today, of any size, and be a part of the amazing things happening here at Cicero Prep.
With sincere gratitude,
- Christa Reichert, Headmaster
- Dianne Kopernik, Family Giving & Community Engagement Officer
