Incarnate Word Academy vs. St. Joseph's Academy

Incarnate Word Academy is a Catholic, private, secondary school for young women, sponsored by the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word.

The mission of Incarnate Word Academy is to challenge young women of faith to achieve their God-given potential as academically successful Women of the Word, following the example of Jesus, the Incarnate Word, by promoting human dignity, thereby empowering themselves and others to make a positive impact on our world.

The philosophy of Incarnate Word Academy is rooted in the mission of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word.

Our task is to make visible the love of God as revealed in Jesus, the Incarnate Word, by promoting human dignity. The mission challenges us to raise the consciousness of our school community, to respect cultural diversity, to respond to the needs of the poor, to work for peace and justice, and to be ecologically responsible.

St. Joseph's Academy is a college preparatory high school sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.

Our mission at the Academy is to provide quality Catholic education for young women in an environment that challenges them to grow in faith, knowledge, and respect for self and others.

Our community expects these young women to make a profound impact in the world.

We strive to provide an environment where each student can develop as a whole person and where she can be guided toward service to God and neighbor.

SJA acknowledges the uniqueness of each individual and strives to nurture the integrity and autonomy of its students.

Administration, faculty, and staff understand that by their actions they demonstrate responsible behavior and commitment to Catholic values. Interactions with adults and with other students foster growth in self-awareness, understanding of others, and decision-making.
