What is Sisu

 

"Sisu”: The Finnish concept for stoic determination, grit, bravery, resilience, and hardiness.
​Sisu Academy is the first all-girls tuition-free, boarding high school, with an embedded incubator fueled by entrepreneurs and seed capital creating an immersive learning environment that funds all operational costs. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit for public good.

Funding Model

Sisu Academy has a unique funding model because we leverage donations and fundraising dollars to build self-sustaining long-term funding. As the school building project is completed we will transition towards a non-foundation based revenue model.

We need your support to get these students the education they deserve.
