ABOUT US:

MISSION AND VISION 

Inspired by the Daughters of Charity and De La Salle Christian Brothers, De Marillac Academy 

provides a life-changing, accessible Catholic educational experience for the underserved children, 

youth and families of the Tenderloin and surrounding communities. 

At De Marillac Academy, we believe that a neighborhood of residence and socioeconomic status 

should not determine a child’s access to quality education or ultimate success in life. De Marillac 

Academy’s holistic educational experience liberates students to lead lives of choice, meaning, and 

purpose, breaking the cycle of poverty through education, and transforming the Tenderloin and 

beyond. 

THE SCHOOL 

De Marillac Academy is an independent Lasallian Vincentian Catholic elementary school, serving 

grades 4-8, located in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco. De Marillac Academy 

provides a values-based, academically rigorous, tuition-free education to low-income students 

from all faith and cultural backgrounds. De Marillac Academy opened in 2001 as an independent, 

Lasallian Vincentian Catholic school with a class of nineteen sixth graders. Today De Marillac 

serves 119 fourth through eighth grade students, 254 alumni through the Graduate Support 

Program, and 220 school families through our unique wrap around clinical and family support 

program. All students attend De Marillac on a full annual scholarship.
