Duchesne Academy, as part of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, offers a college-preparatory curriculum which draws on the natural curiosity and ability of students to help them experience a love of learning. We focus on the whole child--intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social and physical. Our goals and curriculum are strongly rooted in the Catholic doctrine; however our student population includes girls from many nationalities and religious denominations. This diversity adds a rich dimension to our learning environment. This website offers a glimpse of our school, but to experience the distinctive spirit of Duchesne Academy, we invite you to visit us. We have found that a campus visit at our open house provides the best opportunity to learn all about our programs and facilities. It is difficult to portray by internet the beauty of our wooded campus and the family atmosphere of our school community.
