Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.
Fides et Ratio, Pope John Paul II
Every aspect of the life and mission of Saint Cecilia Academy, a Catholic school in the Dominican Tradition, finds its origin and goal in faith in God and reliance on divine grace. Created in God’s image, each student possesses an inherent dignity and a vocation to know the truth and love the good. This dignity is the foundation for the interactions among those who make up the unique community that is Saint Cecilia Academy. This vocation, which is ultimately that of holiness, is the impetus for the programs and activities through which our students attain to true charity for God and for others.
All faiths are respected at St. Cecilia, and every student is encouraged to develop her own relationship with God.
The Dominican presence on campus has a profound effect on our students. Education is the basis of the Dominican heritage, and for over 700 years, the Dominican Sisters have used their teaching skills, along with their gifts of love, patience, and understanding, to educate young minds. Every girl at St. Cecilia benefits from the wisdom and inspiration the Sisters bring to the Academy.
