Theology
Discover and reveal the love of the Heart of Jesus
The Theology Department at Duchesne Academy provides diverse courses to deepen students' faith, spirituality, and social consciousness. From sacred scriptures and Catholic teachings to inter-religious dialogue and service, the department cultivates a sense of community, intellectual growth, and social awareness. Students can expect a strong theological foundation in line with Sacred Heart education.
How we teach the Sacred Heart
- Our approach to faith, religion, and spirituality strives to reflect the radical and unconditional love of Jesus for each individual student, regardless of her religious background.
- We love the life of faith: the tradition that grounds us in something bigger than ourselves, the beauty that feeds our souls, and the call to holiness that pushes us beyond our comfort zones. Our desire is to educate students to this personal and active faith.
- Our department seeks to empower our students to question, discover, ponder, and wrestle with the injustices in the world and the paradoxes they encounter in their own lives, and to equip them with the wisdom of the living God in these encounters.
