The Nativity School of Harrisburg is a private, independent, faith-based, non-denominational preparatory middle school that exists to break the cycle of poverty for low income, inner city boys by providing a comprehensive middle school education free of charge and by continuing to provide educational and support services throughout high school, including full scholarship assistance if needed to attend a private high school. Finally, counseling and support is provided for the college application process.

By raising funds in lieu of charging tuition, Nativity ensures that the student’s only “job” is to learn and grow as a young man, so he will be equipped to overcome cultural and economic barriers to achievement.
