Premier Academics

As a school rooted in the Dominican tradition, study and the pursuit of wisdom are the foundations of academic life. Students are encouraged to grapple with big ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and expect solid answers with a rigorous, college-preparatory liberal arts curriculum. Expert teachers introduce students to the richness of the humanities, sciences, and arts, while our small class sizes provide students with the support and guidance they need to thrive. Students develop intellectual virtue, a love for lifelong learning, and a deep assurance of the intelligibility of the world. A nurturing community marked by grace, freedom, friendship, and confidence allows students to experience study as a shared pursuit of truth wherever it may be found. Studying a cohesive array of disciplines—math and science, literature and history, world languages, philosophy and theology, and the fine arts—each St. Cecilia girl is led to discover the rich harmony of faith and reason, gradually developing a capacity for contemplation of the simple splendor of reality. A St. Cecilia education equips young women not just for college and careers, but also for life, forming them to live with courage, wisdom, and joy.

“Among all human pursuits, the pursuit of wisdom is more perfect, more noble, more useful, and more full of joy.”

— St. Thomas Aquinas
