Your donation can transform lives by supporting our mission to Develop Men of Character.

Vertus High School is a nonprofit public charter school in Rochester, NY, serving young men in grades 9-12 from communities that have been historically underserved. In a city facing the highest poverty rates in New York State and some of the lowest graduation rates for young men of color, Vertus is rewriting the story.

When you give to Vertus, you're investing in a brighter future. Our unique model combines strong relationships, personalized year-round academics with character education and real-world career preparation; all in a nurturing, structured environment where every student is known, loved, and challenged to succeed.
