Brother TJ Tondorf, is an alumnus of University of Richmond (VA Alpha) in 2008. He asked us to help spread the word regarding the middle school he teaches at in Northeast DC: Washington Jesuit Academy (WJA). He writes, "We are trying to raise awareness about the school and our mission as we celebrate our tenth year." Please take a look below and follow up with Brother Tondorf personally, if you would like to learn more about the WJA or how you can help.
Dear Brothers,
I am an alumnus of Mother Alpha (UR Class of 2008). Many of the traditions and lessons that I learned as a brother in SigEp gave me the confidence and sense of service to teach at the Washington Jesuit Academy. I served two years as Sigma coordinator at Mother Alpha and developed a rigorous program to help develop the brothers as students, brothers, and caring men. This energy has transferred to my teaching goals in my classroom where I strive to teach content and character education simultaneously.
The Washington Jesuit Academy is a school that fosters caring and committed relationships between students, faculty, and families. WJA is unique all male middle school that it runs eleven months of the year and twelve hours per day during the regular academic year. While WJA is a private middle school it is tuition free. The students come from low income communities and are only required to pay a small activities fee. The students are constantly encouraged to develop their academic and personal skills. All of the teachers strive daily to foster virtue, diligence, and brotherly love in all of the young men at WJA.
My hope is that you will take some time to visit our website http://www.wjacademy.org/ and learn more about WJA. After learning more about the school, please feel free to contact me at ttondorf@wjacademy.org or (781) 424-1727 if you have an interest in getting involved, learning more about the school, or visiting WJA.
Thank you very much for your time.
VDBL,
TJ Tondorf
