Who We Are
Duchesne Academy educates young women to be active participants in their own development. Rooted in Sacred Heart values, we provide a safe, loving place for them to learn how to evaluate complex matters with poise and discernment.
Admissions
At Duchesne, girls support girls. Research proves girls who attend an all-girls high school arrive on a college campus more confident, better equipped with strong study skills, and are more motivated to improve their communities than peers who attended a co-educational school.
Academics
Empowered to question. Equipped to lead. We are preparing our students not only for college, but for a lifelong pursuit of faith, understanding, and wisdom.
Arts
Courage, confidence, and creativity. Students have a wide array of courses to choose from. Instructors create unique experiences that are flexible to tailor the interests of students.
Athletics
Athletics and academics go hand-in-hand at Duchesne Academy. 75% of students participate in at least one sport, creating a culture of teamwork, Sacred Heart sisterhood, leadership, and strength both on and off the field.
Student Life
As we curate a deliberately intimate class size, all of our students receive individual attention and a sense of belonging. We are dedicated to preserving our traditions while evolving to serve the women of the future — always mindful of our goal to educate well-rounded leaders for the world.
Giving
A Sacred Heart education is unmatched. A gift to Duchesne supports every aspect of the Duchesne experience both in and out of the classroom. This ensures young women have an opportunity to reach their full potential through a well-rounded college preparatory education.
Alumnae
Fairmont is forever. Your experience at the academy does not have to end at graduation. Volunteer, stay in-the-know, and connect with your fellow Sacred Heart sisters.
