Q: What is Donda Academy?

The tuition fee is currently put at $15,000. However, financial aid and scholarships are available for qualifying students.
Q: What is the curriculum at Donda Academy?
A: Donda students will learn fundamentals, grow in their faith, and attend two enrichment classes that include World Language, Visual Arts, Film, Choir, and Parkour.
Students will also attend core language arts, mathematics, and science classes.
Q: Is there a dress code?
A: Students wear all-black Yeezy uniforms supplied by the school.
The uniform consists of a black shirt with a soaring white dove on the back, black pants, and black Yeezy Foam Runners.
Q: What extracurricular activities does Donda Academy provide?
A: Students can enjoy activities such as choir, arts, and sports for the next generation of athletes with an innovative approach to faith and teamwork.
At this time, the faith-based school is not accredited. This means graduating seniors may not have their credits or diplomas recognized by specific colleges.
