School Profile

Donum Dei Classical Academy

School Overview

Donum Dei Classical Academy equips students to be virtuous scholars and servant-leaders who are known, loved, and formed through a rigorous classical and Christ-centered education grounded in biblical truth.

We seek the peace and prosperity of our city by cultivating spiritually rooted and classically formed students who, alongside their families, serve and live redemptively for the glory of God.

School History

Donum Dei Classical Academy’s beginnings are deeply rooted in prayer. In the early part of 2018, a group of faithful believers gathered and sought the Lord in prayer, asking God to establish an education option within the city of San Francisco that would be academically rigorous and spiritually robust. Through our time together, four guiding areas emerged and our team of founding partners worked tirelessly to join in the work of these prayers. From the smallest to the largest of details, God’s hand began to move in powerful ways.

We asked for Families.
Would God bring families to partner with us in providing a classical Christian education that would develop the whole child?

We asked for Faculty.
Would God provide us with faculty to serve as our living curriculum, exemplifying patience in the various learning stages?

We asked for Funding.
Would God help us establish the necessary funds to bring this vision to life?

We asked for a Facility.
Would God lead us to a facility from which this embodied education could go forth?

Donum Dei, Latin for gift of God, is the culmination of these prayers and God’s provision, serving as a continual reminder of God’s gracious and generous activity in our midst.
