Duchesne Academy is a Catholic independent Pre K – 12 all girl school. It is a member of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools and as such is committed to educate students to a personal and active faith in God; a deep respect for intellectual values; a social awareness which impels to action; the building of community as a Christian value; and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom. Each student is helped to develop a positive self-image, the self-confidence to be a leader, and an acceptance and tolerance of others-talents particularly appropriate in our multicultural society.
